BIG COVE BRANCH - NOVEMBER 2006 STREAM OF THE MONTH

( Written by Jim Herrig )
Thursday, 30 November 2006

Abstract:  Big Cove Branch is a tributary stream to North River in the Cherokee National Forest (Big Junction Quad Map). It is easy to access at the lower end but most of the brook trout are over three quarters of a mile upstream.  Getting back to your starting point on North River involves a long hike if you go above the waterfalls to catch brook trout.  The two major waterfalls on this stream are spectacular.  The stream recently underwent some rehabilitation which involved trimming the thick rhododendron to improve the stream flow and angler access.
