Tellico River Trout Waters
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Tellico River in the Cherokee National Forest is a classic Appalachian mountain trout stream with wild rainbow and brown trout populations in its upper reaches. The river flows through a scenic gorge with numerous pools, riffles, and pocket water ideal for dry fly and nymph fishing. The lower sections near the Tellico Plains area are stocked regularly by TWRA.
