Trout Fishing Maps
North
Carolina Designated Public Mountain Trout Waters
These maps are provided to give anglers a guide to
fishing regulations in effect on specific streams. They also provide
locations
of all waters open to public trout fishing. Designated waters are shown
in thick colored lines that correspond to colors of existing signs conspicuously
posted at major access areas to trout waters. Undesignated waters are
shown as thin light blue lines. As an additional guide, game lands boundaries
are also displayed. Please
consult the current NC Hunting, Trapping and Fishing Regulations Digest
or see the trout regulations for further information. Also see Fishing
News.
Tract boundaries and designated portions of streams are not precise, but are approximations of actual locations. Users should identify boundaries on the ground before fishing. Private lands posted against trespass are not designated public mountain trout waters and require landowner permission to fish.
If you own a copy of the Trout Map Book, you can view a list of updates here (pdf).

ATTENTION TROUT FISHERMEN: NOTICE: |
Many
streams open for public trout fishing are located
on private lands. Fishing is allowed on these streams
because landowners have generously provided access
to the public for fishing. Show your appreciation
to these landowners by removing your trash and being
respectful of their property. Failure to do so could
result in the closure of these streams in the future.
