HENDERSON BRANCH - DECEMBER 2006 STREAM OF THE MONTH

( Written by Jim Herrig )
Tuesday, 09 January 2007

Abstract:  Henderson Branch is a tributary stream to Bald River in the Cherokee National Forest (Bald River Falls Quad Map). It is easy to access at the lower end with FSR 126 paralleling the stream for about 2 miles.  Getting back to your starting point on FSR 126 can be a little difficult because of the steep road bank and thick rhododendron along the stream.  There are no major waterfalls on this stream but a concrete dam serves as a barrier to separate the brook trout from the rainbow and brown trout.  The stream recently underwent some rehabilitation which involved trimming the thick rhododendron to improve the stream flow and angler access.

BROOKSHIRE CREEK - JANUARY 2007 STREAM OF THE MONTH

( Written by Jim Herrig )
Tuesday, 09 January 2007

Abstract:  Brookshire Creek is a tributary stream to Bald River in the Cherokee National Forest (Bald River Falls and Unaka Quad Maps). It is easy to access from Forest Service trail 180 that starts where FS Road 126 first comes down to the Bald River. Once you get to Brookshire Creek, you will be in large, open valley or cove with excellent camping sites amid the large poplars.  The stream has only brook trout in it and they are plentiful.   There are about 3 miles of fishable water with no steep, cascades or waterfalls. Getting back to your vehicle will take some time because of the distance but the trail is an old railroad grade that has a gentle 3% slope almost the whole length.
