Ozzie If you go to Tammen Park off Hwy 53 they have stairs and a ramp there to get into the river also most of the time there's people around to get you up if you fall. TU meets there on Tuesday mornings @ daylight . Then there's horseshoe bend park on hwy 60 that can be waded by kids and older people . make sure you call to get the time when the dam releases water the water moves real fast and will knock you off your feet . (trust me I know ) That should cover easy access trout . There a hundred other places to trout fish that not as easy though. Bass fishing you have Blue Ridge Lake and several other lakes not far away . For the kids there's a Trout Farm close by that releases the near by streams thats easy for them and the corn fishermen . Have Fun and enjoy your new home!
