John Miko – North Carolina

Western North Carolina is tenkara heaven. The scale, character and natural surroundings of our local trout waters make them ideal for tenkara fishing and offer great opportunities for the novice or expert alike. They present a wide choice of fishing situations from sizeable tail-waters to the most remote and intimate Appalachian mountain streams. Fish on offer include Brown, Rainbow and Brook trout, both wild and hatchery reared. An “Appalachian Slam” of all three in one day is not uncommon. Many of the waters we fish enjoy the protection of “Catch and Release Only” regulations from October through May, making this our prime season. Our winters tend to be mild and the more hardy angler is usually rewarded with excellent fishing when everyone else is typically inside tying flies. Whether you want to catch a lot of trout, catch a big trout or catch your first trout, you can do it when you come to Asheville.
