Trout Fishing

Just outside the front door of your Chasing Rainbows Cabin (on the left edge of the picture) is Helton Creek, a native trout stream. Whether you are a veteran or a beginner, you will enjoy a private 1500' section of Helton Creek all to yourself to enjoy fly fishing.  And it has some big rainbows in it!  Being a native stream, it is not stocked and is restricted to catch & release and using only artificial bait with a single hook.

Unfortunately, Chasing Rainbows cannot provide a fishing license for you.  You must purchase one before you arrive.  For your convenience, you can purchase licenses online at the Virginia Dept of Game & Inland Fisheries and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (888-248-6834) (Click the links to purchase license.)  No fishing license is needed June 16th through September 30.  License is needed October 1 through June 15.

There are numerous streams in the area for trout fish (with owner's permission).  Also, Chasing Rainbows is only 1.5 miles from North Carolina.  The following is a directory of trout streams just across the VA/NC state line in Ashe County, NC.  Other directories will be added as we learn of them.
