AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Davidson River in Pisgah National Forest is widely considered one of the finest wild trout streams in the southern Appalachians. The catch-and-release section above Avery Creek holds exceptional wild brown and rainbow trout in a beautiful forest setting. Fly anglers favor small dry flies and nymphs in the clear, freestone pools and runs.
