About this water
The South Toe River in Pisgah National Forest offers excellent wild trout fishing in a remote mountain setting near the base of Mount Mitchell. The river holds native brook trout in its upper reaches and stocked rainbow and brown trout in lower sections. Anglers access the river easily from Black Mountain Campground and find productive pocket water throughout.
