The Horsepasture and the famed Chattooga originate in Cashiers, while the headwaters of the Whitewater, Tuckasegee, Cullasaja, and Thompson arise within 1 to 3 miles of the edge of town! (Please remember that some of the headwaters streams are on private property… but National Forest and public access are just minutes from the inn). The Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail, the first and only fly fishing trail in the US, features some of the best trout waters in the Smoky Mountains. The trail takes you to 15 excellent spots for catching brown, rainbow, and our native brook trout… 5 of those fishing spots (accounting for 4 of the 8 rivers on the plateau) are just minutes away from downtown Cashiers. Whether you seek quantity or size, open waters or small streams, the WNC Fly Fishing Trail has it all.
NOTEWORTHY FACT FOR TROUT FISHERMEN: The NC state record rainbow trout (20 lbs, 3 ounces) was caught in the Jackson County section of the Horsepasture River (on private property).
