Stocking cancelled in three Jackson lakes
Three lakes in Jackson County will go without trout stocking this fall due to low water levels stemming from maintenance work.
Duke Energy owns Bear, Wolf Creek and Tanassee lakes, and the maintenance being performed on the dams will draw down the water too much to support stocking. However, normal stockings will resume once work is completed in the spring.
Other trout waters in Jackson County that will be stocked include Balsam Lake and the delayed harvest section of the Tuckasegee River.
