Local wade trips give all anglers the chance to experience the beautiful streams surrounding Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock. Depending on the season, these waters offer a wide range of fishing opportunities : from pursuing large, stocked trout to targeting wild trout in some of North Carolinaβs most pristine mountain streams.
