TROUT HEALTH

If you are fishing and see any deformities, strange swimming behavior or other signs of disease in trout, 
The NC Wildlife Resource Commission asks for you to report your findings by clicking here.

Help prevent the spread of diseases by:
Always Cleaning and drying equipment, clothing and anything else that comes into contact with water.
Never moving fish or aquatic life from one body of water to another without first obtaining a permit from the Commission.
Disposing of fish parts carefully after cleaning fish by putting fish parts in the garbage, burying them deeply or burning them completely.
