NC Delayed Harvest Trout Waters Open Oct. 1

The Wildlife Commission will implement delayed harvest regulations on 36 trout waters in 20 western North Carolina counties on Oct. 1. Before Oct. 1, hatchery supported regulations apply to these waters. Under delayed harvest regulations, no trout can be harvested or possessed from these waters between Oct. 1 and one-half-hour after sunset on June 2, 2017. No natural bait may be possessed, and anglers can fish only with artificial lures with one single hook. An artificial lure is defined as a fishing lure that neither contains nor has been treated with any substance that attracts fish by the sense of taste or smell.
