The facts:
The section of the North Toe River located between the U.S. 19E bridge to the N.C. 226 bridge are considered Mountain Heritage trout waters. This section of the river also falls under the Delayed Harvest regulations. Delayed Harvest Trout Waters, excluding tributaries except as noted, may be fished only with artificial lures with one single hook, no natural bait may be possessed while f

ishing these waters between October 1 and 30 minutes after sunset the Friday before the first Saturday of the following June. on the first Saturday of June, these waters open for all anglers under Hatchery Supported Trout Waters regulations. The Delayed Harvest waters open for youth under 18 years old only, to fish from 6 a.m. until noon on the first Saturday in June every year. During this time youth may use live and artificial bait’s with no hook restrictions. The Fun:
The Spruce Pine Lions Club hosts Troutacular at Riverside Park in Spruce Pine. The Lions are located at the amphitheater in the park. There you can register your youth and they can become eligible for state and local prizes. Local prizes and giveaways vary every year based on funding and donations so make sure to keep up with our page to see what is being given away. What do you do with all those fish you catch (bag limit 7)? The Grassy Creek Baptist Church Armor Bearers Ministry is there to voluntarily clean your fish and put them on ice. Things To Consider:
Wildlife officers are always present. They can answer any questions you have and are there to help preserve our natural resources. You are allowed to help your youth fish, (i.e. casting and landing fish,) but if you appear to be fishing and your youth is not involved you can be ticketed. Also, The Lions Club, will provide a limited amount of loner fishing poles and tackle, but it will be on a first come first serve basis. We can’t wait to see all the smiling faces from youth and adults alike!

Attend if you can it’s for a great cause.

We are sad to announce that the Spruce Pine Lions Club will be unable to host the Troutacular fishing event at Riverside Park. Due to Hurricane Helene, the delayed harvest waters are closed until further notice. The park itself sustained severe damage as well. We are hopeful to return next year. We have found the good in the bad, and the Spruce Pine Lions Club will be at Bakersville's fishing event, where we will be providing free hot dogs, chips, and drinks. We hope to see you there!

Troutacular is less than a week away. This year we are giving away a half day guided fishing trip again for the longest trout. This year we have added a prize for the second longest trout. It’s a Martin fly rod kit with instruction manual. We will also be giving out door prizes throughout the morning.

Some more photos from yesterday’s event. I think a great time was had by all.
