Asheville has made yet another top 10 list – Forbes magazine’s list of Top 10 Trout Towns. Asheville ranks up there with West Yellowstone and Missoula, Montana, Roscoe, N.Y., and Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Click here to see the Forbes list. What they say about Asheville:

The Southern Appalachians are perhaps best known in the angling world for their brook trout, tiny jewels that are the only trout native to the east coast. Anglers hike into the Smokies to fish plunging mountainside streams. The South Holston, in nearby East Tennessee, is arguably the best trout river in the southeast.
