Fly Fishing Laurel Fork Creek Tennessee
This is a wonderful little wild trout stream with plenty of
wild brown and rainbow trout. Native brook trout are
found in its headwaters. It also has a lower section that
is stocked with rainbows. It is located in the extreme
Northeastern section of Tennessee. It is highly possible
to catch a grand slam of wild trout from its waters.

This stream is often confused with Laurel Creek,
another northeastern Tennessee trout stream not far
from there. Laurel Fork Creek is located off US highway
321 at Hampton, not far from Elizabethton, Tennessee.
Dennis Cove Road will take you there.

The road doesn’t follow the wild trout part of the stream
so this isn’t a stop the car and cast stream. That is
probably why we have never seen anyone else there.
We have always been there on a weekday and that may
make a big difference. There is plenty of water to go
around even if there are a few anglers there but you will
still need to do a little hiking.

This is a fine, beautiful little trout stream in the wild trout
designated area, worthy of any anglers time.

opportunities but the water can become too warm at
times.

the brown trout spawn during the fall.
