Hi. I recently went trout fishing with my girlfriend's uncle in
Missouri (Meramac Springs), and had a great time (caught one!). I
live in central NC, and would like to go trout fishing again, but
don't know where to go, what I need, etc. I'd just be driving around
in the mountains without a clue.
Could any old pro out there please give me some advice and help me get
started? I've wanted to fish for a long time...I just don't know
where to start. My dad didn't fish, so I really didn't "grow up with
it" so to speak. I'm an absolute beginner.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Make sure that Walt sells you a copy of "North Carolina Trout Fishing
Maps Book"

Not sure where in central NC you are, but the East Prong up at Stone
Mtn. is C&R till June 1. Pan Fish and Bass in lakes and ponds. Small
Mouth in rivers.

Opportunities abound!
