MANY TROUT IN
VAYAH CREEK
Forest Service Reports
1,000 Caught
So Far
Fishermen and fisherwomen con
tinue to bring in their limit each
week-end from 8 miles west of
Franklin, where the U. S. Ftrest
Service and the State of North
Carolina cooperate on a Wildlife
Management Area Wayah Creek
states Charles M. Melichar, For
est Supervisor, Naritahala National,
Rorest. . '
Last Sunday ten happy sportsmen
checked in with an average catch
of over eight nice trout per per
son. It has been this way for
weeks until the names of Wayah
Creek has come to spell success.
Under the watchful care cf State
Game Protector. George Crawford
a large number of trout have been
brou&ht up to legal size. This has
required plenty of work, not only
in preventing poaching out of sea
son but protection of the fish front
natural enemies. If you find a
small steel trap set on top of a
post, do not touch it for it is set
for a Kingfisher bird. One of these
destructive birds does not make
his .home for long on Wayah Creek
before he lights on the steel trap
and tumbles to his death. Or if you
find a cylinder of wire netting that
looks .like a fly trap . immersed in
the stream do not touch it for it
is a water snake trap baited with'
fish entrails or meat. All of these
devices are placed there by the
game protector to make better
fishing for you. '
The two main forks of Wayah
Creek that are proving most popu
lar for men and women are Rough
Fork and Camp Branch. From the
time the reason opened in April
over 1,000 legal size fish ,have been
caught .here including several that
measured 16 inches in length. Ac
cording to, the fis.h stocking rec
ords, there, are over 800 more fish
waiting to be lured to the checking
station before September 1 arrives
and the closing of trout season.
This means five more week-ends'
until the close of the season.
If the truth were known, the
.high average catch per fisherman
on Wayah Creek could possibly be
attributed to. the fact that, the
genial George Crawford sometimes
includes a fishing lesson long with
your permit if he sees that y.ou
are no match for the wily trolt
on Wayah Creek. However, there
is one thing sure about- this fish
story, and ' that is that there are
plenty of trout being caught on
Wayah Creek this year.
