Experience level: Beginner/Intermediate The Tellico River is one of the largest free-flowing trout streams in the Southeast and is featured in 'Trout Unlimited's Guide to America's 100 Best Trout Streams'. It is a classic eastern trout stream that winds its way through the forest corridor with a mix of deep pools and fast and tumbling pocket water. The river is heavily stocked with rainbow trout and brown trout, but also has a healthy population of wild rainbows as well as a few wild browns. The trout on the Tellico River average 12-14 inches. River Road parallels the river for nearly 20 miles, providing easy access. Because of these factors, the Tellico River is a great option for beginner to intermediate fly anglers and those looking for an enjoyable day on the water without a lot of hiking involved. All gear (rods, reels, waders, flies) provided for all trips. Lunch is provided on full day trips. Please Note: This trip is not available on Thursdays or Fridays due to Tellico River being closed on those days for weekly trout stocking. If you would like to book a trip on Thursday or Friday, please select the 'Wild Trout Trip' Option.
