A one-day license for NC residents in the park is $5, plus a $10 trout stamp. For non-residents a comprehensive fishing license is $40. A one-day license for non-residents is $10 or $13 for three days, plus a $10 trout stamp. On the Cherokee Indian Reservation, a one-day tribal fishing permit is $5, a three-day permit is $14 and a five-day permit is $20.
