Hatchery Supported regulation went into effect this morning at 6 AM for our Delayed Harvest waters.  From 6 AM until 11:59 AM kids 15 and younger get to fish in the DH waters and keep up to 7 fish with no size restrictions.  Also this fishery now becomes hatchery supported regulations which means that you can take trout with no size limit and also no bait or lure restriction.  This regulation change is only until October 1 when DH regulations go back into affect.

DH waters only make up a very small percentage of trout waters in North Carolina which means that you still great opportunities to fly fish year round.  Our State has many different types of waters for you to explore and should do that.  In Jackson County start with our Fly Fishing Trail and explore some new water.
