This Remote Appalachian Stream is Full of Native Brookies!

This remote southern Appalachian stream has no trail access and as a result, absolutely no fishing pressure! The brookies were more than willing to pounce on dry flies. The hike in and out was tough but totally worth it! #flyfishing #tennessee #brooktrout

Poison Ivy/Sumac/Oak, Stinging Nettle, Briars, Ticks, Wasps...all necessary ingredients for a top notch under fished brookie stream 🤣👍

Haha yes!

[@larryhudgins6988]

Killer video old friend, worth the bush whack I say. Your excitement for where you are and what your catching is infectious.

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

This is one of those top secret places that I was telling you about. Hard earned rewards but the difficulty of getting there makes it all the sweeter!

Thanks for distraction on a work day Cody. Much appreciated.

"Remote" and "brookies" often appear in the same sentence.

[@thomasbausinger8659]

Enjoy your videos. My favorite kind of fishing!

[@KennethKempka-xg1jk]

What is quite a beautiful Brook that you have there, you caught a lot of brookies nicely done Cody

[@benaxley2533]

Great job finding that stream. Looks like a good one to me and some nice brookies

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Sometimes you do a lot of bushwhacking and it doesn't work out and sometimes you find a gem!

I’m new to fly fishing and headed to tellico on Sept 2 to try and catch my first Brook trout. Any suggestions on creeks with trail access to start with? Also what wt, size rod are you using there? Great video by the way.

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

We've had some major road closures in the Tellico area due to recent flooding, but there are alternate routes. It'd be hard to give you all the info in the comments but feel free to call the shop and I'd be happy to give you more info 423-253-2231

@@tellicooutfitters8989 I’ve seen the road closers and I’ve been looking at alternative ways to north river area. I’m coming from Chattanooga so not too far but I’ll definitely give y’all a call or stop by. Thanks for the reply

Looked Buggy but great video!

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Very! I forgot to put on my bug spray before I started down the hill. Those mountain gnats will drive you insane.
