Fished the bridge in May (trout festival), got a nice buck on a bugger. Lots of rain, chocolate water. Great fishery, looking forward to citigo and upper section of the tellico.

Imagine running a mile and then someone duck tapes your mouth and nose so you can't breathe until they get a few pictures. You should pinch your barbs and release them asap. Your photogaphy is outstanding !

The Goldie there was first created in West Virginia. That strain was developed in the Petersburg West Virginia hatchery and now they have been sold to places all over the country and raised and stocked . Also renamed in those places that trout has the most names of any freshwater fish now I do believe 😂 but the original name is the golden trout /goldie is what they named the trout when it was first bred. That’s why West Virginia now has the Gold rush every spring . They stock 60-70 select places around the state with a stocking of all Goldies during the gold rush 👍

Great Video Gang! We had a great day last Saturday! We tried for a Palamino that did not cooperate! A fun day and worth the drive.

I haven’t been able to make it make back up there because I’ve been so busy but I will probably some time after the holidays eventually, I love your videos, the shop is awesome, and you’re always very helpful with everything, I hope to come up there with in the next couple of months, maybe even schedule a euro nymph guided trip. Much love and merry Christmas!

You have that Toyota rigged well now. Merry Christmas Cody

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

It's perfect! Just wish I had gotten it sooner! Merry Christmas!

[@KennethKempka-xg1jk]

Ya that first hole really got dug out

[@MedicRNMike]

Yes because the fish stay in the river for the next guys and gals. It’s the time of sportsmen, not meat hunters.

[@KennethKempka-xg1jk]

I'm a sportsman and I love meat ,helps pay for the gas and delicious protein

[@HTen-gl5di]

It would be great if you I.D. bucks from hens. Not that hard and helpful to many.

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

Btw did you get your other fly out the brooders mouth? 😂

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Ha! I wish! It was barbless, so it probably shook loose when it broke off.

[@rbell3324]

Fish On ??? how was the Detur Road around the Bridge ??? I could tell you was above site# 3

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

We took the Wilcat Rd detour and it's a little washboarded but otherwise not bad.

[@rbell3324]

Thank you, Great Day to have went...Im planning to soon,I am in the Ooltewah area and I've fished Tellico/Citico for over 50 years...Did you check progress of construction ? Merry Christmas

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

@rbell3324 I haven't been able to see the progress myself but a friend shared some photos of the bridge construction. As of this past week they have torn the bridge out and the pilings are still standing. Hopefully they can keep making good progress.
