Fishing in Tennessee:
Trout fishing in the Tellico River (Monroe County) in Tennessee. There are many miles of wild trout streams in the area aruond the Tellico River, North River, and the Bald River regions. Also, of interest, is the "Annual Trout Fishing Tournament" which is held here every year. Artificial lures with single hooks are required on these streams and rivers while fishing for native trout.
The TWRA will begin stocking the Tellico River with rainbow trout in March and ends around August 30. Average size for stocked rainbows is about 12 inches although some may be larger. The TWRA will occasionally stock some brown trout in addition to the rainbows. Native southern brook trout is also found in the Tellico River as well as the feeder streams (Sycamore Creek, Bald River, and North River.
Top trout fishing months for the Tellico River, Bald River, North River and Sycamore Creek are March, April, and May. This area is heavily fished until just after the July 4th weekend with fishing tapering off. Water temperature varies considerable throughout the year. Temperature can vary from 32 degrees in the winter to 78 degrees in summer with an average yearly temperature of about 57 degrees.
There is no fishing allowed on Thursdays and Fridays. A daily permit is required throughtout most of the season. Permit not required for trout during the winter months. Basic fishing license is required. Please refer to Tennessee Fishing Regulations Digest for detailed license and regulations information or call East Tennessee (Region IV) at 1 (800) 332-0900.
