I would work the deep water in front of Paul's Restaurant. Use night crawlers or crickets. No stocking is taking place at this time in Catch an Keep. The other place is down below Paul's at that walk bridge.

You can fish but must park on Big Cove Rd.

@ thanks, just saw your whole video. They got really nasty with us 2 years ago because we parked in the wrong spot but we had never been there before. It was great fishing but we stayed clear of them ever since. Love your videos btw, we fish Cherokee with a lot of friends and family every April

Theres plenty of locations to fish in Cherokee. Some folks want to know if it's easy access and many not sure where to go to fish. Remember these waters are stocked so plenty of trout to go around to everyone. Thanks for watching.

probably hidden in that rack somewhere.

I understand. Some easy access at across from Paul's Restaurant and at the Oconaluftee Park. I have a few places listed in some videos on it. Good luck.

Sure is a great spot lots of smaller holes in there takes some work to get in there but can limit out.

Thanks!

Your welcome.

4 lb. Cajun. I like mono for the stretching. Your not really setting the hook trout fishing.

Your welcome. I always get a hotdog sit outside an talk to the fisherman.

I use a ultralight outfit. Cheap Walmart $50 outfit and I got several ones from Cabela's under $100. 4 lb test Cajun. #2 spinner Blue Fox. Gold.

No. The video watch all of it from Bridge downstream is fly fishing. 2.2 miles. Your see the sign at the walk bridge.

Heyman is correct. He was in the catch and keep section

You got it!

Minnows sounds interesting. Have yet to use them. Do u get more hits on Minnows verse worms?

@@HeeyManFishing If the fish are biting good there's not much difference. If I have worms and minnows, I'll fish a hole first with worms and then switch to minnows when the bite slows down. You'll generally catch larger trout on minnows. I dropped my son off at one big hole and drove down to another good hole a few hours before dark. He had the minnow bucket and I had worms. We both limited out but he had three big ones 16-21 inches. The biggest was a brown trout. They seem to hit better just before dark in my experience.

You are very welcome!

Yes it is. Can't miss it on right off the road.

Big Cove road

It's hit and miss especially when they have not stocked.

No this was just showing locations. The hatchery lost a raceway. No stocking in Catch & Keep until January. Past trips yes in the areas. That first hole few years back the hatchery trk stop above me an fellow did not know I was down there on the rock fishing had trout coming over my head.

That's good to know cause I was wondering if they're going to stock fish back up before the Trout Opener Tournament next year. I usually go up there and participate in the Trout Tournament. Thank you again for sharing all these spots and looking forward to fishing those spots next year.

Hatchery suffer flooding in one raceway. Going to take some time to get back to normal.

@@HeeyManFishing The last spot you went to is a great spot very pretty park, my wife and I love Cherokee, hope to be back in the spring, we are from Texas, maybe I'll run into you. Tight lines!!

Hope to see you when your up in Spring. God Bless.

My pleasure!

At 1:40 Bass on bottom in structure. Above them yes bait fish.

You can use a fly rod in Catch & Keep waters. Fly Rod only in Catch & Release.

@@HeeyManFishing Thank you sir. Let's catch us a big'un!

Yes there's a path down. For safety i use a rope off the back of my truck down as it's steep. Waters pretty deep in spots. There's a sign Catch & Keep posted. Anytime you see a sign there's always a path to the river. Good luck.

@@HeeyManFishing Thanks friend. I am not as young and agile as I used to be.

Absolutely. Go to the EBCI site here . You can buy the permits online. A N.C. License is not necessary on tribal waters. A one day tribal permit is $10. The site is pretty self explanatory. Good luck on the fishing. ebci-licensing.s3licensing.com/?catalogItem=Fishing

Let me know how it goes!

Hey, thanks

Yes it was .

Good to go. Neighbor fish early in the week and call me out to lake to help him. Used the fishing line removal trick to get out of his hand.

Oh yea. Great food with a view.

Live bait, I cast up and let it drift down pass me. Spinners for me it's downstream. If your in the stream say middle through at the 9 or 3 o'clock position if that makes sense.

@@HeeyManFishing Thanks for that info. Take care

Very deep.

Thank you! Will do!
