Price Lake is a small pond.
It is a pretty tourist destination, but the biggest fish you will get there will be about eight inches long.

If you are looking to just dip a worm it is fine, but if you are looking for a good fishing experience, I would never go there.

Price Lake is on the BRP. I don't know about "touristy"...sure if you go intop Blowing Rock or Boone, which are miles down the Parkway, but even then, not so much. As far as small pond, I would not say it's a small pond. Small lake perhaps. It is 47 acres. And that's a good bit of paddeling in a canoe or kayak.

Thank you so much for the posts. We will definitely check them out. For any lake access though we will need boat rentals available. Thanks again!!

Your in trout country as well as still water fishing. Rivers Edge in Spruce Pine and Hunter Banks in Asheville will put you on fish.

We like price lake. Never fished there, but took the kayaks out on it.

Good fishing places

1. in my front yard in Mitchell County on Little Rock Creek.
It not only has native brookies, but is stocked with Browns, Brook Trout and Rainbow trout - Lots of "no trespassing" signs, but I welcome all fisherman

2. lake James in Marion
3. Fontana lake
4. the French Broad river in Asheville
5. the Nantahala River
6. The Toe River

many other good places too
