Not all of Lake James but the area around the Black Bear boat launch.


Several members have expressed concern about muskies being shot with bow and arrow in the upper end of the Catawba arm of Lake James.
Our district biologists are proposing a new regulation that would go to public hearing in January.
This proposal will prohibit the use of archery equipment as a licensed special device on Lake James from Black Bear Boating Access Area to the NC-221 Business bridge crossing on the Catawba River and the SR 1553 (Cannon Rd.) bridge crossing on the North Fork Catawba River, McDowell County.
