North Carolina Mountains Fishing and Boating In the North Carolina mountains, fishing is great fun for the whole family with more than 3,000 miles of trout streams waiting to be explored. Favorite catches include smallmouth bass and rainbow, brook, and brown trout. An experienced fly fishing guide in the North Carolina mountains can point you to the best fishing spots and provide instruction. A half-day private guided trip costs about $195 per person for wading or $250 for a float trip. Group trips are also available. Lake Lure, Lake Santeetlah, Fontana Lake, Nantahala Lake, Hiwassee Lake, and other area lakes offer excellent fishing for bass, brim, catfish, and pike. Boating and water sports are also popular on North Carolina's beautiful lakes and rivers. Vacationers renting
