The section below the reservoir (a mile or so) used to be stocked with rainbows by the local TU chapter. You had to buy a $15 permit for the year if you wanted to fish that section, which helped TU pay for the stocking. But it was fun fishing, and that's where I cut my teeth as a trout angler. In those times the brookie fishing was not great because a flood had wiped out the upper river and destroyed a lot of habitat in 1995. There's still a plaque along the trail describing the flood, I believe.
Based on some googling, it appears Albemarle Angler may be selling the permits now, and they may cost $50. http://everythingthatswims.blogspot.com/2012/12/moormans-river-tu-chapter.html?m=1
