The Great Smoky Mountains National Park many options for fishing. So grab your gear and let’s head to one of the many great fishing holes in the Smoky Mountains. Here are a few to consider.
Abrams Creek
I start with Abrams Creek because it is definitely a favorite with the anglers who are familiar with the area. Located along Abrams Falls trail in Cades Cove. The rainbow trout here are going to be as big as you are going to find in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You may even catch a small mouth bass in these waters. If this is your first visit to the area be sure to research and plan your trip to be safe and get the most out of your adventure.
Little Pigeon River
If it is “trout” you are after then try the Little Pigeon River. The Little Pigeon River is made up of several smaller streams that join together at the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina.
In Tennessee the West Prong section of the river is near the Sugarland Visitors Center. I the lower part of this section you are likely to encounter rainbow and brook trout in the upper section.
Porters Creek is part of the Middle Prong and you will find brown trout, rainbow trout and brook trout. So, you can’t with either choice. Once area research the area, plan your trip and let someone know where you are going.
Anthony Cree
If you are taking a child or maybe a beginner angler, consider Anthony Creek. It is a great and easy place to fish for trout. The trout may be a bit smaller but the fun is just as big. Located in the Cades Cove area you will find it an easy place to access. Start at the Cades Cove Picnic area. Be sure to research the area because there are many other area attractions there such as: Anthony Creek Horse camp and Anthony Creek hiking trail.
These are just a few waterways in the Smoky Mountain where trout are abundant. Be safe and plan.
