    I know of a place a little ways from Brevard that has nice stocked trout ponds. Its in Marion NC, McDowell county on Buck Creek road. There are several pay ponds there full of nice trout . One I took some kids to was called Elliots Trout Farm on Buck Creek . We caught lots of fish there . There is great fishing in Davidson River and in Horse Pasture River . The state record rainbow trout was caught in Horsepasture River in Brevard ,it was just over 20 pounds . Good Fishing to ya While your in Brevard check out sliding rock its a fun place . And the Blue Ridge Parkway is a nice road to drive. If you get a chance go through the Smoky Mountains and over to Cades Cove Tennessee .

    traffic ticket help in western north carolina?
    Question:
    looking for assistance fighting the speeding ticket I receive near Brevard, N.C.


    Answer:
    Depends on what your how fast you were driving. Go to court the day printed on the ticket. Ask for a plea reduction. Ex. 70 mph in 55 mph can be reduced to a 60 mph. It will show up your record with the DMV, but not on your insurance. Try to avoid the prayer of judgment. It stays with you for 3 years and only one person in the family can use it. The courts cannot sway you one way or another. Just listen to what the others.
