Hiwassee River - Reliance Access
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Hiwassee River below Apalachia Dam is one of North Carolina's premier tailwater trout fisheries, offering cold, clear water year-round. The delayed harvest section near Reliance is highly regarded for large brown and rainbow trout. Wading anglers find excellent dry fly and nymph fishing throughout the season.
