Pigeon River fishing regulations

North Carolina WRC classifies water on the Pigeon River as Hatchery Supported Trout Waters and Wild Trout Waters, managed as stocked holdover and wild. This is a designation of the fishery, not the season and creel rules. The posted signs and the current digest are the authority, not this page.
