General Hatch Charts for North Carolina

These charts reflect the general characteristics of insect hatches and the availability of non-insect food sources in our North Carolina streams, ponds and lakes. We hope they are helpful in planning your fly fishing adventures to our precious coldwater mountain trout waters. In our low-altitude marginal waters and some of our mountain lakes, smallmouth bass and other gamefish may be predominate; these chart may be useful for those waters as well.

A word of CAUTION: These charts reflect the general characteristics of insect hatches and the availability of non-insect food sources in our North Carolina streams, ponds and lakes. A given body of water may contain a more intense hatch than normal, a very sparse to almost unidentifiable hatch and in some cases may not contain a specific insect or non-insect food source.
