The leaves are green, the flowers are in bloom, and the fishing is heating up! With Spring, come countless fly-fishing opportunities in the mountains of Western North Carolina and so far this season the water levels have been excellent and there have been plenty of bugs hatching for the fish to eat. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to explore some new water or are new to the sport and hoping to catch your first trout, the friendly staff and knowledgeable guides of  Curtis Wright Outfitters look forward to helping you get the most out of your time on the water.

Fly Fishing School

We're also pleased to offer our annual spring day-long Fly Fishing School on Friday, May 11th out at the Lake Logan Conference Facility. Our fly fishing school is designed to give aspiring anglers the tools they need to be successful on the water and enjoy their first fly fishing adventure…from first fly to first fish. Here in the mountains of Western North Carolina, we're fortunate to have a wide array of fishable water at our fingertips and with Spring, the fishing really turns on. We have hundreds of miles of wild trout water to fish, including dozens of secluded native brook trout streams in the high elevations, as well as many larger trout rivers in both North Carolina and East Tennessee, which we fish from rafts and drift boats.

Delayed Harvest Stocking

In North Carolina, we're also lucky to have a great trout stocking program, known as Delayed Harvest. The DH program is 20 years old and this spring is proving to be some of the best stocking yet. Delayed Harvest waters are designated as Catch and Release from Oct 1st until the first Saturday in June and can only be fished with single-hook artificial lures. At Curtis Wright Outfitters our goal is to provide you with exceptional customer service for all of your fly fishing needs. We pride ourselves on our friendly service and family atmosphere, where customers feel comfortable coming in any time to get the latest fishing report from a guide or get some fly-tying advice.
