Cherokee Trout Fishing | Bunches Creek
While staying at the Indian Creek Campground in Cherokee North Carolina, I did a little bit of Trout fishing in Bunches Creek. Bunches Creek runs the length of the campground and is stocked regularly by the Cherokee Indian Reservation. I only caught 2 small trout, landing only 1 of them, but still had a nice time. This actually was the first time I'd ever fly fished in a creek for trout. Feel free to share any comments on what I could do differently or better in the future. Thanks for watching and please check out similar videos on my channel.

The good news is you caught a wild trout, which while small is usually more difficult and desirable than catching a stocked trout, most people would say. The bad news is you're not likely to catch many fish the way you're fishing. It's almost impossible to fish a dry fly downstream in a small stream the way you're fishing. You want to be fishing upstream. For one reason the trout will be less likely to see you coming (they face upstream). For another you'll be more likely to get a natural drift with your fly. Cast it upstream, let it float naturally with the current back downstream.

Thank you for the advice. I've had a bunch of people tell me the same thing and plan on working upstream in the future. I appreciate the advice.
