Just a quick trip up to the Delayed Harvest section of the Tellico River after a week of snow and ice. Low fishing pressure and trout eager to eat!

Lived here my entire life and have always been taught by my dad to let natives or wild wish go. No matter the size.

Great video! I really appreciate the knowledge you share in these.

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Glad it was helpful! If there's anything in particular that you'd like to see a video on, just let us know!

[@stephennelson75]

Hell yeah! That’s a good trip in my book! I’ll have to start paying more attention to those rainbows for wild signs 🤙

[@larryhudgins6988]

Great video. Well done sir.

[@homosassa2tellico388]

Nice video, thanks for sharing 😎. Have fun on your trip

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Appreciate it! We just got back a few days ago. Got a video coming out soon!

[@uni_shadow164]

Loved the video! Was there New Years Eve last and caught some rainbow on dries! Is the Tellico requiring the daily permit now or are we good until March or April? Well Done!!

Thanks for my Euro setup a couple weeks back man! The leader was very awesome. I ended up only catching a couple of Fish Friday, but Saturday I did a lot better, biggest fish was a brown 14-15 inches. I caught more browns than rainbows. That was my first time euro nymphing and I’m hooked!

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

That's awesome!

I've definitely been catching more wild bows in the last year or two but none that big. Nice catch and thanks for sharing the video.

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

We have a friend who fished the river frequently who landed a wild bow that was over 18". Which is wild to think about since most wild bows in the watershed are from 6-10" but the potential is there for bigger fish!

[@tntrailrider7379]

@@tellicooutfitters8989 Boy wouldn't that be nice to get a healthy population of good size wild bows in there? I'm doing my part to keep em in there.

[@josephshubert9476]

[@jonlebeau1963]

Awesome video got question I was up and they had river rd closed off could not fish the stream do you know if they reopened river rd

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

The lower 10 miles of River Rd is closed while they replace the bridge at Bald River Falls. The project is supposed to be completed this coming fall. Until then you can take the detour route via Wildcat Rd or North River Rd to access the upper 8 miles of river near the hatchery and green cove, which is still open.

@@tellicooutfitters8989how much does the road closure effect the fish stocking?

[@jonlebeau1963]

Is the bridge open yet?

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Unfortunately it is not scheduled to be reopened until this fall.

[@grimtidings7325]

Great Video !! What rod are you using?

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Cortland Mk2 10' 6" 3wt. Easily my favorite nymphing rod.
