Pisgah Forest North Carolina, Date May 15-18 2019, Outing Leader Randy Gerdes

Camping, cabins and rental houses are plentiful in this beautiful area. We'll be in the Brevard, NC area.

The Davidson River is considered one of North Carolina's best trout streams. It’s only about a 5 ¼ hours driving time from Nashville and well worth the trip.

From the headwater section of the Davidson down to Avery Creek, the stream is managed as a wild trout stream. Fly fishing only is allowed and it's all catch and release. Below Avery Creek the stream is stocked by the state on a regular basis. It has a very healthy trout population and easy access.

The Davidson River is a beautiful freestone mountain stream. It has a large population of trout and many trophy size fish. This is mostly due to the year-round catch and release regulations. The stream has a good supply of many different species of aquatic insects and other food for the trout.

The main tributary is Looking Glass Creek. The stream is very small above the falls not far above its confluence with the Davidson of just over a mile or so. The small
tributary has some rather sizable fish up to the falls even though the stream is still rather small.
