Anyone ever trout fished around Ashville, NC?

Seems like a place where I could do some fishing, and the wife could release her foodie side. I just don't like fishing around tourist trap towns. TIA.

Plenty of options. Couple of factors to consider first:
- When will you be here?
- How mobile will you be, and how far from Asheville are you willing to go?
- What kind of fishing is your preference (fly, hardware, or bait)?
- Wild fish versus stocked?
- Prefer small streams or big water?
- When will you be here?
- How mobile will you be, and how far from Asheville are you willing to go?

Like to keep it within an hour from Ashville

Don't care. I've caught plenty of trout out west, so I'm not looking for that "river runs through it" moment.

Combo. I'd like to catch a ton one day (stocked) and maybe go for some native browns another.

Don't really care to float.

Would suggest the Davidson River drainage southwest of Asheville. Several small streams drain off of the southern flank of the Blue Ridge Parkway and come together as the Davidson, so you have anything from small water near the Parkway to pretty-big-but-wadeable downstream.
Head towards Brevard from Asheville, then north on 276 toward the BRP. The river follows 276 for a while and several smaller streams peel off into Pisgah Nat'l Forest.
That time of year, the best option I know for wild trout (browns, bows, and brookies in one small stream) is a little farther afield (~90 minutes). The time to be there is March-April. Single-hook artificial only. Happy to share via email if you are interested but my buddies would shoot me if I were to broadcast it.
Good luck!

I stay away from that place. Went drinking at the Greek Festival one weekend and ended up with wife 2.0.
