Cherokee NC fishing?

Realize this is insensitive to all of those still going through the storm. For those who have fished the reservation in the past, what do you see all this rain doing to the streams for the next 6-12 months>?

I was wondering a similar thing. Particularly in areas east of Cherokee that were worse hit. Are the trout just dead from all the muddy raging water? If so, will guess the trout from surrounding areas that are still alive will eventually make their way back up affected streams and replenish them? The timeline a natural recovery of population could be a decade if so.
The trout are somewhat important to the recovery of the area since they are mostly tourist towns and the trout are a draw.
The town I visit when there is Bryson City which is 30min of Cherokee. They have a FB page where they are recently promoting Fall visitors. The comments from some locals are a bit negative as they don't think the area can handle the extra strain of traffic and on supplies. Catch22 since the town relies heavily on tourism.

Once the water recedes, it will recover pretty quick. Trophy section may need a restock.
Water got high and some flooding, but Cherokee and the national park weren't hit on the level of Asheville and Erwin. Trout know how to hide from flood. Especially the native trout, we saw a boom in brown trout population after the bows didn't fare as well from the 2020 flooding in the national park area.

Things look bad everywhere.
I was thinking about this yesterday.
How did the fish even stay in their habitat.
The Cane River went up 40 feet in certain spots.
I don’t see how anything is recognizable.
Also, a lot of hotels are gone as well.

This is my absolutely favorite river near My Place in Brevard . Completely trashed I’ve been told by my neighbors up there now. I’m crushed. Was fortunate to not lose my cabin.
I hate to hear that.
Hopefully it will be back in a few years.

Own a cabin at Cherokee. Thank God we weren’t his as hard as other areas. As for the fishing, it should return to normal pretty quickly.
