Enjoyed a nice float on the Tuckasegee River in western North Carolina with my son last week. Rained the whole morning but the fishing was pretty good. Not a lot of trout but good size. Between us we caught four browns and two rainbows, with the largest brown going about 5 pounds. My fish came on a stone fly imitation; my son cheated and used spinning gear and a roostertail, but he feels no remorse since he caught the biggest fish. Our guide, Micah Allen with Fly Fishing the Smokies was outstanding - hard working and fun to fish with. We had a great time on the trip, despite the rain.

Healthy looking fish right there. Had some of my best days ever in the rain.

Never heard of Tuckasegee Trout, but thanks to your post have now. Nice fish!. A beautiful river that flows just south of Smoky Mountains National Park and forms Fontana Lake on the western edge of North Carolina. Stayed in a hillside cabin above Bryson City - very pretty part of the country.
