Micro-Snorkel Fishing
Join one of our guides as they take you on a unique fishing adventure to catch some of the most beautiful and fascinating native fishes our region has to offer. Microfishing has ignited a widespread interest in discovering, photographing, and learning about the smaller minnows, chubs, shiners, darters, and sculpin that play important roles in the overall health of rivers and streams. Several of these species display remarkably beautiful colors and patterns during spawning season, while also exhibiting spawning and parental behaviors unique to that species.

BLUE RIDGE SNORKEL TRAIL
The Blue Ridge Snorkel Trail (BRST) is an innovative education project that will link together a set of publicly accessible river sites where people can safely snorkel to experience the underwater world of streams and rivers of western North Carolina and beyond. Each site has an educational sign, which provides safety information, a description of notable species at the site, and other information about the trail.
