It is not too late to catch your biggest trout of the season at Qualla Country Trout Tournament held in Cherokee, N. C. The Eastern Band of the Cherokees are having their tournament on September 5 through September 7, 2014. The tournament is open to anyone who has the $11.00 entry and the only one restriction and that is the exclusion of the 2.2 miles of catch-and-release waters. That leaves the remaining 28 miles of privately stocked freestone streams open for your conquest. By the way, this is the largest privately owned and stocked waters east of the Mississippi. They have their own hatchery so you can be sure that the trout are worthy of your efforts. The total purse is $11,000, so why not compete for your share and have fun while at it.
