I've fished about all of the fishable water in Cherokee. I don't usually use a float in deep holes. I use a split shot and a hook similar to what you used. I also use nightcrawlers or other jumbo size worms. Or, we might drive down below Bryson City and buy minnows. It's not easy toting a minnow bucket around but most the deeper holes are fairly easy to get to. I use the same rig as for worm fishing. I cast across or upstream and keep the line tight while the bait lightly bounces across on or near the bottom.
@@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.

Cherokee has a great stocking program in 2021 over 30,000 lbs was stock into over 30 miles of streams an rivers. Thanks for watching an please subscribe.
It's Cherokee. Thousands of people fish every inch of that water. It's a matter of being there on the right day at the right time if you're not local following the stocking truck.

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

Another great video. You are the best about telling exactly how to get to the various locations.
👍👍👍
I appreciate that!
Peter’s Pankcakes is our favorite place to eat in town!
Oh yea. Great food with a view.
Looks like these holes have been fished out.
They'll get restocked. Thanks for watching. Good luck on your next trip.

Awesome video. Where is that fishing deck located. Looks perfect for my situation.
Across from Paul's Restaurant. I ment to mention that in the video.
Thank you sir, you are one of the few fishing channels that will give locations, and I appreciate it.
Agreed. Nice to have a guy willing to share information. We're all out for the same thing and imagine we're all pretty respectful of others.

Most folk won't go to some locations as it's just too steep and hard to reach. Thanks for watching.
