What is being bit in the NW Carolina area? I am going up on Thursday. I plan on fishing the Natahala.
These guys will hook you up (pun intended) if you give them a call.

Nov 18th Nant report
This fishing report changes almost as much as the weather this Fall. As of "NOW" the rain has soaked everything around us and the Davidson River has come up to 750 Cfs. Yes fishable, but watch where you cross, or step. Get out that 6wt. and go Streamer fishing.
ENJOY the good levels and large fish.
