Outdoor Editor North Carolina Traval a Promotion Divlalon
Many I ar tieel anglers have
found that some ot ihe besi
fishing found in western North
Carolina is on the I" "Western
Game Lands" that offer stream
fishing for rainbow. bro?n and
brook trout
T li e current 11 sliing
regulations booklet, published
by the Wildlife Resources
Commission, lists these Game
Lands and details special
regulations applying to litem.
It is available free from license
dealers throughout the stale
and by mail from i he
Commission office in Raleigh
One of ihe? largesi Game
Lands, but otherwise typical ol
the rest, is the Daniel Boone
Wildlife Management Aie.i
lying in parts of foui counties
near Linville and l.enon. I lie
area is within the Ptsgjli
National forest, hut is
managed by ihc Wildlife
Commission for hunting (deei.
turkey, and smell game) and
fishing.
Most streams are open loi
fishing each Wednesday.
Saturday, and Sunday this yeai
from A pi 11 4 t liiotigh
September f> and Icibni Day
Oilier streams jic open daily
during this perurd. It depends
on the kind of stream
The Wildlife Commission, in
trying to compromise positions
of bail fishermen and anglcts
who prefer to use only
artificial lures, classifies
western game lands streams
into three categories. Lacli lias
its own particular regulations.
The categories jte as follows:
Designated Public Mountain
Trout Waters-All streams
within western game lands are
so designated, although many
are furl hot designated, fheie is
a creel limit ot seven trout, hut
neither si/e limit not lure
restrictions, these waters are
sometimes referred to as "bait
stieams.'* On Daniel Boone
Wldhle Management Area,
(iiaggv Prong. Rock house
( reek, and ( taig Creek ate
"bait siic.uns."
Native 1 rout Waters-Such
stieams cjiiv a four-trout creel
limit Rainbow and brown
tiout must be 10 inches or
longei tin the angler to kill
them, and brook trout must he
at least (?inches. Only artificial
lines ate permitted. Dan
Boone's "Native" streams are
Cppci Creek. North Harper
Creek. South Harper Creek,
liaipei Creek and Steels Creek.
Of these. Cppor and Steels
creeks are further classified as
"research streams." This means
that anglers must have, in
addition to other license
requirements, a liee one-day
special use permit (which must
be obtained at the box Camp
Check Station pnor to fishing)
and must submit Ins creel tor
inspection at the check station
jflei fishing.
Trophy Trout W'alcrv-Only
artificial flies may he used on
these streams. Spinners and
plugs ol all kinds are
prohibited. The daily creel
limit is one limit. Browns and
rainbows must be at least 16
inches long and brook troui
must be no less than 12 inches.
Wilson Creek and Lost Cove
Creek and all tributaries above
Graggy Prong on Daniel Boone
Wildlife Management Area are
classified as "Trophy" waters.
All such streams on all Game
I^inds are open every day
during the April 4 -Septembet
7 season.
Anglers fishing Game Lands
trout streams must carry at
least three kinds of licenses and
permits. These include a daily,
?"ivc-day or season fishing
license, a season trout permit
and a daily or season
mangement area permit. Other
free "special use" permits, such
as those for Upper and Steels
creeks, may be required.
A resident fisherman, not
previously possessing any form
of North Carolina fishing
license, may expect to pay a
minimum of S5.25 for permits
and licenses for one day's
fishing. A non resident will pay
S8.25. Special trout permits,
however, are good for the
entire season on the 2000 miles
of Designated Public Mountain
Trout Walei in the state.
Fx per le need trout fishermen
know that every stream has a
character and "personality" all
its own. Daniel Boone Wildlife
Management Area offers an
unusually large number and
variety of streams.
Lower Harper Creek is
rocky, with large pools and fast
runs.

Feast Of Pirates
At Wilmington
Three brigands who sailed
under the sinister Hag of the
Jolly Roger two centuries ago
wouldn't recognize some of
their old haunts along the
lower North Carolina coast, if
they dropped anchor in
Wilmington today.
The unholy threesome who
scourged the Atlantic shores
were Captain Kidd, himself a
reluctant pirate: Stede Bonnet,
a gentleman pirate, and
I'd ward Teach, better known
as Blackboard, 3s treacherous a
knave as ever drew a cutlass
across an innocent neck.
Bonnet and Blackbeard were
feared and familiar figures
along the Carolina coast in the
early 1700s. adding an
inglorious chapter to maritime
history after the legendary
Captain Kidd alrcadv had
passed on to his just reward at
the end of a rope.
Today, 252 years later, the
careers of these infamous
freebooters mingle facts and
fancy, and thus provide a
splendid reason for the
celebration of the First Annual
North Carolina's Feast of the
Pirates. This event is a renewal
of a similar observance of some
40 years ago, but this time it
includes family fun and
festivities of such scope to
appeal to all ages. These
include water sports and boat
races of all kinds; fishing and
golf tournaments, clambakes
and fancy costume balls.
Thus, if Captain Kidd.Stedc
Bonnet, and Blackbeard
swashbuckled ashore for the
Feast of the Pirates on May 8 ?
16 here and at nearby
Wrightsvillc and Carolina
Beaches, they'd never believe
the sights.
But two and a half centuries
ago this part of the North
Carolina coast was largely
uninhabited, and excellent fot
the practice of piracy. Ships
could be stalked at the leisure
of (he pirates, and the
numerous inlets and coves
provided ample hiding where ill
- gotten spoils could be divided
in safety, and ship's repairs
could be made without hurry.
Captain Kidd was an
infrequent visitor to the coves
of the Carolina coast. He did,
in fact, turn to piracy with
some reluctance, having been
forced into the trade by
mutinous members of his ship's
crew.
Bonnet was a retired army
officer and gentleman, an 18th
century dropout, who gave his
allegiance to the Skull arid
Crossbones out of boredom
and an unhappy marriage. He
purchased his own ship, the
Revenge, and set out on the
high seas for a short, but
full some, career as one of the
busiest buccaneers of the era.
At one time, he joined
forces with Blackbeard and the
two commanded several ships
and over 500 men; enough to
terrorize shipping and
communities when they put
lj^to port.
Bonnet, the less skillful and
experienced of the two. was
captured below Carolina Beach
near Southport, and carried to
Charleston, S.C., as a prisoner
where he was hanged. The
passing years have mellowed
the legends of Bonnet.
Not even 250 years,
however, have mellowed the
fact and fiction surrounding
Blackbeard who found his best
hunting in the waters of North
Carolina. He was a scoundrel
who exemplified all of the evil
that buccaneering brought to
the bounding main.
He was killed in a violent
battle in North Carolina waters
in 1718, the last of the Terrible
Three to die. and thus close the
bloody era of piracy on the
Carolina coast.
"Three brigands of yore
departed this shore. R.I .P."
