Where to go Fishing on the Wilson Creek River Gorge!
From Wilson Creek Cabins we are located near some of the best fishing on the river.! Our pet friendly cabin rentals are near "the Beach sand bar" and from there all the way upstream to Edgemont is where all the big fish from the private Trout Unlimited area wash down stream. There are various streams feeding into the Wilson, Harpers Creek, Graggs Prong, Lost Cove Creek and many other smaller streams like Estes Mill Creek and Phillips Branch, luckily where our cabins are located is very close to where some of the best fishing on the River is located. From Edgemont headed down water is the area below the local Trout Unlimited private reserve so some of those monster fish make it to where we are and the Brown, Brooke and Rainbow Trout are plentiful....if you are good. Trout are smart. I'll publish some detail here to show you where the River is catch and keep, Delayed Harvest (catch and release during season) and special Wild Trout water rules.
Brown, Brooke and Rainbow Trout fishing at its finest!
