Troy, NC NCWRC Boating Access Area - Troy NC Uwharrie Mountains

 

Troy Boating access area is a nice little boat ramp on the Little River in Montgomery County NC. This ramp is located on Bruton Millpond  almost exactly 1 mile above Bruton dam and gives you access to several miles of the river.  Some maps call this Mill Pond Hurleys Lake.  Also, parts of the Uwharrie Nationl Forest Border this Millpond. 

I will show you some pictures of the access area and then talk about what you can catch in the river and then provide a Youtube video or two I have done in the general area. 

***Note - you can click on the pictures to make them bigger.

A good book to read has a chapter on this section.  Written by the Great Fisherman Buck Paysour the book is  "TAR HEEL ANGLER Freshwater Fishing in North Carolina" .  Chapter 17 is mainly about fishing the Little River in this stretch of river.  You can get this great book on Amazon  right here by clicking this link     https://amzn.to/3EQ3FdB

So what can you catch in this Millpond?

Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Bream, Channel Cats, Bellheads  Chain Pickerel, Carp and a few smallmouth are in here but they prefer the running stretches of this river not impounded by a dam. 

I have another article in this Blog that talks about this river and the Uwharrie River  and their Smallies,  see it here  https://mackinncblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/smallmouth-bass-in-piedmont-of-nc.html

Here is a video I have on YouTube where we put in at this ramp and then fished below the dam

Thanks for reading and if you have info on this area leave some comments.  Thanks Mack
