About this water

The Watauga River near Valle Crucis in Watauga County is a beloved High Country trout stream with a mix of hatchery-supported and wild trout water. The delayed harvest section offers excellent catch-and-release fishing for rainbow and brown trout in a pastoral mountain valley setting. Fly anglers find productive dry fly fishing during summer hatches and nymphing throughout the year.
