BUSTED illegal trout fishing in Cherokee, NC. A Nice Day Fishing Interrupted by DNR.

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Dad and I took a trip to Cherokee North Carolina to do a little fishing. We were having a nice day until the DNR showed up. We didn't realize that we were doing anything wrong, but SURPRISE!!! Nice guy though. We were in the wrong and we'll pay our fine, which goes right to the hatchery. No big deal really, but we learned our lesson. Always do your research before fishing or hunting in a new area.
Part 2 of this trip will be published soon, so stay tuned!

Glad your dad is back home and doing well. Best wishes to you and your family.
Thank you. He is home and doing well thank you!
He was a pretty cool warden. It could have been a lot worse. Glad both parties were civil with each other and that can decide on how an officer approaches the infraction.
You are lucky you didn't wind up in jail. The Cherokee wardens don't play around. It's fly fishing only with one barbless hook catch and release only. If you do what you did it's usually at least $1000 and a trip to jail.
I have fished the trophy section for several years. I think that it is marked well. Fly fishing only, all catch and release, do not believe it is barbless.
Yeah, it's Barbless too in that section. It's not as well marked but it's in their Special Regs.
You didn't know too bad 100 dollar ticket
The reservation has their on set of regulations. There are other awesome streams outside of cherokee that abide by NC regs. Great video.
It's not DNR, it's the reservation wildlife enforcement
Signs EVERYWHERE indicating fly fishing rods only etc along that road. Once he said he had spinners....I knew he would get nabbed. They patrol the river HEAVY!!! Great fishing..but if you foah..rest assured...you will get the patrol pulling up EVERYTIME...
Signs posted all over that water. You should have paid for every violation.
So Gangster using spin gear in the Trophy Section They should "cane" Outlaws with their rods bare back
Another video showed where 4 guys were fish and the warden was watching them and waited till the older man made it down and cast so he could give all 4 tickets.
Hey unruly, ive been to cherokee many times but i have no idea where that nice deep pool below that bridge is. Were you on big cove road? We are going there in the fall, any info would be appreciated.
Big cove rd where it meets straight fork rd sir. That’s the cutoff to members only and then I fished my way back down to town. But I got a ticket in about a 2 mile stretch that’s trophy only.
The hillbilly game wardens got me in N.C. for fishing without a license. I was in the wrong and admitted it. It was a long story. They were so disrespectful. I can’t repeat what they said to me. I will never go back to N.C.
Those little ones are wild trout and you should wet your hands before you pick them up
Can you use live bait and closed face reels or is it just certain parts of the river
Certain parts of river are fly fish only.
i seen one year guys kid was grabbing up trout at our camp site at yogi in smokeys ,after they just stocked that creek the fish were in shock still & floating on top and thats a big no no in Cherokee to scoop them up while in that state of shock, ruinded their whole vacation , got fined and ask to leave the reservation
Strict ole boys up there
@@unrulyoutdoors1032 yup for sure
I went to fish there but after taking with a couple people about how the wardens are over everything I said nope. One guy got a ticket for having 2 poles but he was only using one at a time
Read the regulations.
ya buddy got to be a single barbless hook same goes for gatlinburg. so if your buddy is using these up there you may wanna let him know they will fine him.
Problem was we didn’t know we were on trophy stream. Beginning of video we were legal. It’s about a 1.5 mile stretch that is trophy only
Be sure to get permission from the government before you breathe son
He said something about the rod and reel you were using but if you are using single barb-less hook why does the rod and reel matter?
He said fly pole specifically soo idk
Fly Rod
Because the few fly fishers bitched enough and trout unlimited probably got involved to screw the gear fisherman the 99% . They've been doing it for years in Montana. They've been trying to shut out salmon and steelhead hatcheries down for years in Washington.
Fly fishing only. Like over here in maine
Did you see the guy with the badge and gun? That's one good reason it matters.
that was not DNR that was the reservation officer
My first and last time fishing in NC. Got nabbed for fishing wrong section of river. Got $300 fine. DNR said, "Didn't you see the sign?" It was a 4 inch sign at the bottom of a tree. Never going to fish NC again. Guy was a jerk.
My opinion is don't go fishing in Cherokee. Nothing is clearly marked . No signs stated laws or regulation's . You do anything that you don't know about you will get a big ticket . That's when you will get explained what you did wrong . So many regulation's you will do something or have something or line will go into area to get a ticket . I have talked to different people who got a ticket . It's like going to the casino , you lose .

Hi Corey I said clearly marked . If you are aware of any signs with regulation's posted at the K O A ponds put up a photo of them . No one can read a posted sign that's not there . They don't have rules and regulations in print that you can buy or that they give you when you purchase your permit . When you call ahead with questions to make sure you follow regulations , it would be nice if the information your given is correct . I have seen videos of people getting a ticket they ask where is the sign . One officer told me about three regulations that I never did find . Maybe you are employed there I don't know . I know an insult when given one . I'm too nice to give you one in return . You have a great day .
Signed Will
@@sheilagordon3115 LOL! KOA ponds are not Enterprise Trophy Waters.... any bait... just need a Tribal License.
@@robinsuggs2169 I thought it was just that simple . But learned the hard way several regulations you are unaware of . By Will
@@NCflyfishingguides Post a picture of of those signs at the ponds with law's. Hard to read a sign that's not there . Post a picture of any sign with regulations .
I went there 2 fish but after taking with one old guy and how they will get you for anything they can I said nope I will keep my money
I'd need to bring a translator to understand the game warden... I was able to make out the occasional word.
I know there are rules and regulations but lots of these waters especially in rivers, creeks and certain lakes contain so many types of contaminants. Lots of these fish are contaminated with mercury, pcb and other chemicals at the same time people fish just for fun they're fined and many times taken to court. I understand that nature has to be protected but at the same time they won't protect these waters and fush from people who actually pollute the waters. Creeks in my area and the Potomac river are so contaminated that there are warnings not to get the water on you. If people risk their lives just to go fishing for recreational why are they so strick. Can these water be safe to drink from? I'm a fisherman myself and yes I obey all laws. These are just my thoughts and questions. Fish in the oceans like blue fish, tuna, and many more has so much mercury in them. It's very bad to consume them but are still regulated. The commercial fisherman paid maybe one a year fee I'm not sure but they can catch as many as they like and sell these fish for profit. For regular anglers like you and me can't sell these fish. Has limits and size. Many times we drove hours and paid for gas, food, hotels, baits, ice and many more but are allowed a few amount of fish. It's just not fair and stupid. Yes, I believe that every species of fish should be protected so that people can enjoy it for many years to come. The first thing they should do is clean up to creeks, rivers, lakes, bays and so forth. We've spent much on fishing supplies that cost us thousands and only to lose them due to rocks and branches. Conservation is a must but at least not picking on the little guy who are trying to go out and enjoy nature. Keep on fishing everyone and yes, do not liter there are so many people who are doing that and we know who they are. Nature is beautiful and relaxing by doing our part really help preserve our great and beautiful parks and waters. 👍😁🙏🙏🙏
"if its paid by 4:00" (we just pocket that money) and it wont go on your record. Is how he should have said it.
Lol 😂 got yee asses caught you probably do that crap all the time
The supermarket Pinkertons at work. Don't want you catching free food.
👍
Follow the rules. You can play. Why should every other sportsman pay an be restricted when you just feel you should get it for free? Do you belong to an indian tribe?
Its their private land.They stock the fish.Isnt anything free about it.If you cant follow the law dont go.
Ignorance is no excuse to the law.
You need two lawyers and a 50lb rules book any more. Now I remember why I quit fishing and hunting.
You're not even allowed to use barbless flies on a spinning rod?
From what I was told no sir.
It's fly fishing only and you can't throw a fly with spinning reel anyhow.
@@bosspilot3627 you can use bubble floats to toss flies with spinning gear. That's what they're made for. Heck, you can use regular floats like us Steelheaders use, just attach a float, add some split shot, then attach fly. If you use a bubble float that are designed for tossing flies, you dont need to add any weight at all.
@@machinegun3133 where are you fishing for steelhead?
@@machinegun3133you cannot use spinning gear in the trophy section at Cherokee
Gee Wiz North Carolina 🤦🏾
Don't mess with the tribal police.
He's hard to understand with that chew in his mouth. These crazy restrictions may be necessary but are impossible to keep-up with. They should have markers or postings.
No money in clear markings, they need that ticket money from the white man 😂. I didn't fish there after talking with one old guy that said he got a ticket for having 2 poles but only fish with one at a time
And don't throw fish you catch back in the ponds there 100 dollar fine
They more worried about fish then our southern border
You didn’t put them all back those fish you kept were very small.
Your supposed to be a professional and you don’t even know the rules lol.
I can see why your rod broke. I use Gloomis trout series with a 500 or 1000 series Shimano. I'd never treat my rods like that. I guess it's fine with those cheap Chinese rods.
There's no way you can justify spending that much on a rod. It's obvious you got it just so you could brag about your fancy shmancy rod
Good day of fishing ruined
Read and obey the rules
Or is unruly your attitude towards everything?
I hate flies only places it is confusing where to fish so on and so on
