Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park

Fishing

It is a regulated river heavily used by rafters and kayakers at high flows but you can also hire a guide to fish from a drift boat.  Wade fishing is limited to low flow periods. Anglers can catch Largemouth Bass, yellow perch, catfish, Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout. Fishing for trout is best fall through late spring during the stocking seasons. Many anglers flyfish but other tackle is just as effective. A trout stamp is required.
