Flyway: 10 Fly Fishing Holes Along the Blue Ridge Parkway
The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the Southeast’s most treasured resources.
From end to end it carves a 469-mile path along the spine of the Blue Ridge, acting as a regional corridor for outdoor adventure. At its highest point—south of Waynesville, North Carolina near the imposing summit of Mount Pisgah—the parkway climbs to an elevation of 6,053 feet. At its lowest, as it follows the course of Virginia’s James River, it dips to a mere 649 feet.
Fly fishermen know the value of the parkway better than most. For years savvy anglers have used this two-lane scenic byway to connect the plethora of mountain streams that dot the Blue Ridge landscape. Next time you head to the mountains with a 5-weight in tow, use this guide to fly fishing the Blue Ridge Parkway to help you along the way. Whether you’re heading north toward Skyline Drive or south in search of trophy browns and rainbows at the parkway’s southern end, it’s sure to serve you well on your quest for the ever-elusive southern trout.
