Experience Level: Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced As our spring and summer seasons wind down, we start to turn our attention to the fall and winter 'Delayed Harvest' season, which offers the best opportunity for the biggest trout of the year. This is easily the most popular season for fly anglers to enjoy the main river, minus the crowds. The 'out of towners' are largely gone from Tellico after the last leaves drop in the fall and the river is much quieter due to the catch and release regulations implemented from October through February. Thanks to East Tennessee's relatively mild winters, trout season on the Tellico continues well into the coldest of months and we have seen phenomenal days of fishing even in January and February. If you want the best shot at a trophy brown or rainbow and a chance to beat the crowds, this is the time of year for you. *Peak Delayed Harvest season is from mid-October thru mid-December so if you're planning a trip for that time, make sure to book well in advance.* All gear (rods, reels, waders, flies) provided for all trips. Lunch is provided on full day trips.
