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.


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....

Yeah outside the park still see tons of people fishing with corn and worms for trout. They line up right next to the stocking trucks when they let them out. Just don't see the fun in that.
