Trout fishing in the chilly rivers of WNC
Venturingnow Says: Trout fishing is my favorite thing to do in this part of the country. My parents house is really close to a number of great trout rivers and streams where I normally catch quite a bit of fish. One day, I caught 34 in about 3-4 hours. The Tuckaseegee and Nantahala rivers are...

Venturingnow Says: The areaaround Sylva is full of wonderful streams and lakes that everyone (who buys a license) can fish on. Most every inch of water is stocked full of rain rainbow trout, brook, and brown trout by the N.C. fish and Wildlife people. Recently I took a trip to nearby Lake...

Venturingnow Says: Here's one last shot of some flowers that I shot with a star effects filter on a lovely sunny day in the mountains.

Venturingnow Says: Ok, here's more flowers and more fishing information. Scott Creek This creek is also stocked, and if you want to find it, go www.mapquest.com and get a map of the city named Dillsboro. When the map comes up zoom in or out until it shows all the rivers and creeks. It's a free...
Venturingnow Says: Here's another flower picture. I'll take this time to inform you about some other rivers/streams/lakes in the area that you may be interested in if you fish a lot. Remember, the county stocks all the rivers/streams/lakes monthly with brown trout, rainbow brook, and some...
Venturingnow Says: Another waterfall on Lake Glenville. There are three total on the lake, and they're sometimes used by fisherman trying to catch their fish, but sometimes you get a good view of them.
Venturingnow Says: Here I am fishing off the boat we rented on Lake Glenville. It cost 30 dollars an hour, plus they gave us fishing gear. The place we rented from was called Glenville Outfitters and they are right off the side of Highway 107. And, I had no luck catching any fish on the lake.

Venturingnow Says: Now for breakfast I have 4 places to try. The first two are in almost every city, and the third and fourth are a home style place ran by a local Grandmother and the local coffee shop. There is a newly opened Waffle House sandwiched between the McDonalds and O'Malley's, and...

Venturingnow Says: This picture should describe to you what Sylva and the surroundings are like. It's a regular house, just like 80% of the residents of Sylva live in. Out is the mountains on large pieces of land, just like me. There are a lot of mountain folk up here, so watch out for 3...
I wouldn't worry about tourist...
Venturingnow Says: I wouldn't worry about tourist traps in Sylva, they don't really know what tourism is. It's a nice quaint town though.
Venturingnow Says: In the winter time, Sylva can range from a day like today, where it was 70F in winter, or two days ago when there was 3 inches of snow on the ground, the sun never came out, and it was 25F. So, in the winter be prepared for cold and snow, but summer and fall are beautiful,...
Venturingnow Says: There are lots of interesting things to do around this area because of it's great location in the Great Smoky Mountains. One thing you can do that is pretty close to my house and Sylva is visit Historic Fontana Village. This village is about as far removed from the bustle of...
Venturingnow Says: The whole place is off the tracks, but there is a lot to do around the place. If you are old enough, you can get to the Cherokee Harrah's Casino, only 25 minutes away, or for the sports nut, take the Great Smoky Mtn. Railway departing from Dillsboro (100 yards west of Sylva)...

Venturingnow Says: Another shot of some streams in Cherokee.
Venturingnow Says: There is a city called Cherokee that is about 15 minutes from Sylva where you can see all sorts of old indian things. It's a really touristy city, but there is quite a good amount of fishing spots in the Cherokee Reservation. Fishing liceses are $7 a day and you can fish on...

Venturingnow Says: Get out and hike some of the wonderful trails that wind through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (only 5 min from Sylva). These next sets of photos are of some flowers in the mountains my home sits on.
