Great Smoky Mountains National Park has about 2,900 miles of streams within its boundaries, and protects one of the last wild trout habitats in the eastern United States. The park offers a wide variety of angling experiences from remote, headwater trout streams to large, coolwater smallmouth bass streams. Fishing is permitted in all streams year-round in the park, from 30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset.
