Calderwood Lake is a narrow deep mountain impoundment that is part in NC and part in TN.

Both states stock it with trout.

In 1998 and 2001 the TWRA stocked lake trout (lake char) into Calderwood. They also stock rainbows.

I believe the NCWRC stocks rainbows and browns into Calderwood.

I am interested in going to Calderwood and fishing for lake trout. I have never caught a lake trout but I see folks catch them on tv. Looks like an exciting fish to catch.

So I sent the TWRA an email to ask if they plan on putting more lake trout into Calderwood Lake. NC residents can fish Calderwood with an NC fishing license.

Here is my email:

Dear Mr Carter,

That does help. I was also wondering if the TWRA had plans to stock more lake trout in Calderwood?

I would like to take my Gheenoe there and fish for them.

Thank you.

Sincerely,


Gambusia


Here is the reply:
No, not at this time. North Carolina did not want us to stock them in their waters.

Why would the NCWRC have a problem with lake trout stocking in Calderwood?
