Fishing at Eagle Creek
About:
Eagle Creek is a highly regarded fishing spot known for its excellent fishing opportunities and relatively low angler pressure due to how difficult it is to get to Eagle Creek. It offers a variety of fish species, including Brown, Brook, and Rainbow Trout, as well as Small-Mouth Bass. Additionally, it is possible to find Landlocked Steelhead Trout in this creek.
One of the reasons anglers like Eagle Creek is because the stream is the maintained trail next to the stream and the ease of wading. The creek is also easy to navigate allowing fishermen to explore different sections of the stream. Eagle Creek provides multiple opportunities for casting and wading experiences.
Reaching Eagle Creek can be difficult. You can go on a boat or Shuttle launching from Fontana Village, or you can hike down from two different places, Fontana Dam or Kuwohi (Formerly Known as Clingmans Dome). Both of which will require a bit of effort.
Overall Eagle Creek is highly recommended for those wanting a quiet, peaceful, less crowded place to fish. With its diverse fish population, easy stream access, and historic surroundings, it offers a memorable outing for anglers willing to make an effort to reach it.
