About Cataloochee Creek
Cataloochee Creek flows through one of the most remote and beautiful valleys in Great Smoky Mountains National Park — wild elk roam the meadows, historic homesteads stand in the forest, and native brook trout and wild rainbows hold in every pool. A bucket-list destination for anglers who want wilderness and wild fish.
Regulations
Great Smoky Mountains National Park regulations: artificial lures only, single hook only, all brook trout must be released, 7-inch minimum on rainbow. Valid NC fishing license required. Long drive on an unpaved road — plan accordingly.
