Wilson Creek is a long and important trout stream in North Carolina. There are 2 basic sections to Wilson Creek. The upper section shown here requires hiking to access and features fishing for wild trout. Supposedly there is a trail leading down to the beginning of Wilson Creek but if there ever was such a trail it has since become overgrown with vegetation and is no longer usable. I advise taking the Whiterocks trail 264 which you will you to the stream after a long steep mile. I saw a lot of brown trout from 8 to 12 inches but they were very wary and difficult to catch. Wilson Creek has a lot of good, fishy-looking structure and is fun to fish even if you don't catch anything.

Hi there, thank you so much for these videos, they are such a help for me! Im currently living in eastern nc and while I love Wilsons and many of the other incredible streams in WNC and east Tennesee, id like to plan a weekend trip that is less than 6 hours drive from me in New Bern. Im looking at some rivers such as the Smith in virginia, and the Dan river. Do you have any suggestions for this time of year less than 6 hours away and preferably less than 5? Thanks so much!
I have no suggestions.
