Fishing on Forney Creek
About:
Forney Creek located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a hidden gem for fishing enthusiasts. This creek offers a diverse range of fish, including Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Smallmouth Bass. You’ll discover that Brown Trout and Smallmouth Bass thrive in the lower sections of Forney Creek.
Another great thing about Forney Creek is that it’s great for multi-day excursions, there are many backcountry campsites around the creek to make your fishing adventure a little longer. You can choose to take a boat across Fontana Lake or hike from the tunnel at Road to Nowhere. Being a little difficult to access means that Forney Creek has less fishing pressure.
