Posted a question a few weeks ago about this area but didn't get any replies, maybe most folks are more familiar with the Smokie Mountians. But Brother-in-Law and I had it in our hearts to go to Tellico area and give it a try, seeing as we are both novice trout-fishers what harm could it do. The wives (sisters) brought along the corn and bread balls to try their hand too. We found the area to be really good as far as we were concerned and a challenge. B-I-L doesn't have much experience at small stream casting and the trees and small pools etc. gave him a bit of trouble. Last stocking had been around Labor Day for these streams so the bait fishers had beaten us to most of the fish, still we managed about 10 to 12 fish, 13 inches being the biggest. As typical with the overhanging trees lots of hangups so there have to be some innovative ways to retrieve otherwise lost flies. At a later time I will tell about a fly retieval, but not from a tree.
