Fishing: Every fisherman has a story about the big one that got away. But, it's more fun to tell about how you landed a whopper!

Turning fish tales into reality is easy to do in the Jocassee Gorges. The cold mountain streams and lakes are ideal for rainbow and brown trout. And the trout, after feasting on the abundant threadfin shad, often grow much larger than normal!
