re: Bryson City/Smokies/Nantahala fishing

+1 on fishing Cherokee. Easy roadside access and kid-friendly wading on the reservation.
Another option: Delayed Harvest section of Upper Nantahala (above the power station where the rafts put in). Easy access/wading, and it was last stocked on July 23. Lower Nanty between NOC and the power station is fishable after power generation has stopped and the water levels recede (late afternoon). Just be careful, the Lower Nanty is big water for little guys to wade.
Other suggestions for kids: Ice Cream at Soda Pops, Pizza on the deck at Anthony’s, Inner-tubing Deep Creek. If you do Cherokee, be sure to drive up 441 to the GSMNP Visitor Center – always a good chance you’ll get to see some elk in the meadow.

Thank you. Is the area around NOC good for the kids for just plain old swimming/wading? They are all swimmers, though they may opt out when they experience the temps. Ha.
Definitely doing the Deep Creek tubing, and a hike up the deep creek trail to the falls. My youngest is only 6, so is aged out of the NOC rafting. But a couple outfits run little-kid friendly trips on the Tuck, so will probably do that one day. Also plan to drive up through the park to hit Clingmans, maybe also Archie's bald if my little one's legs make it, and Elkmont. Want to hit Cataloochie as well. Want/need to go south and for short hikes and falls, and a day at Asheville and Biltmore.
