Alleghany County Fly Fishing
The fly fishing in Alleghany County and Sparta NC is an anglers dream! Blessed with two natural rivers that provide plenty of sport fish and an abundance of trout streams, Alleghany County is definitely the one of the best spots to fish in the NC Blue Ridge Mountains. The county’s many streams and mountain brooks are generally fed by the New River which flows throughout the northwestern border of the county. The New River and its many tributaries are filled with rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass, and even rock bass “redeyes”. In certain places on the New River in Alleghany County one can even fish for large big game fish like catfish and muskellunge fish.

Running through the middle portion of the county is the Little River, a small tributary of the New River. With over 18 miles of hatchery supported waters, the Little River is one of the top places in North Carolina to trout fish. Be sure to research and have a clear understanding of all of the North Carolina Wildlife Commission’s trout fishing regulations.

Parks in the region also offer some phenomenal fishing in Alleghany County. At Stone Mountain Park alone there is more than 17 miles of trout streams to fish and several of them are trophy catch and release streams. Here you can fish for rainbow and brown trout that are 30 inches and longer! Another popular spot nearby, Bullhead Creek, is a trophy stream that offers trophy fishing in sections. Anglers pay to fish in one of eight different “beat” sections of the creek and during that time are guaranteed exclusive fishing in that part of the stream. Sections of Bullhead Creek cannot be reserved ahead of time as they are on a first come first serve basis.

The Blue Ridge Parkway also runs through gorgeous Alleghany County and is home to some excellent trout streams. When you fish along the Blue Ridge Parkway you can enjoy the peaceful solitude of the Blue Ridge Mountains and their many rivers, streams, and creeks, as well as the convenient access to some of the best fishing spots afforded by the Parkway.

If you are looking to enjoy the day with your loved ones and are a beginner to fishing, then head over to one of several trout ponds in Alleghany County and spend the day fishing their well stocked waters.
