There is a reason fly fishing is preferred for trout fishing...its because the damned things are EASY to catch with anything other than a fly rod LOL
In the park itself it is preferred because bait fishing is not allowed, and if the park rangers catch you with bait, it's a pretty sizeable federal fine. Have to use artificial tackle and there are rules on the tackle as well.

Otherwise the fish would disappear within days of stocking and would not last long enough to breed.

The Tuckasegee is not in the park in the area of the swinging bridge and according to the NC Fishing and Trout Waters page there are no restrictions on that stretch of river. I may give it a go after the first of the year and see if those big browns are still holed up downstream of that island....
