The waters around Highlands are perfect for brown trout; however, before you just wade into the Cullasaja River, you need to consider what all can go wrong without the support of an experienced guide. Unfortunately, an unguided fly fishing experience can go very poorly. You could spend your entire day or weekend searching for brown trout in the wrong places. Plus, wading into the wrong part of the river could be dangerous and lead to injury. The right guide can make all the difference.
If you are going to hire a guide, why not find the best in the business. You want to make sure you get someone with the experience and expertise to help you catch plenty of wild brown trout.

The Cullasaja River is one of the premier rivers for finding hatchery-supported and wild brown trout. They have long been noted for their distinct deep coloring, typically golden brown to olive-brown and brilliant yellow bellies. Some may also have dark spots encircled with light yellow or white on their backside. Other brown trout will have orange or red spots on their sides. They can be tricky to find, often hiding underneath fallen trees and in undercut banks. However, if you know where to look, you can find and catch all sorts of brown trout.
