Great guys at Tellico Outfitters, glad to see you enjoyed the trip!

You’re getting close to my stomping grounds!

Loved the video. Are those Brookies wild or had they been stocked previously. Colors looked different than what I’m used to seeing on the wild Brookies in the Park.

Super fly fishing mister! Magic!❤

Love that one Drew! Looking forward to the next video or Part II. I moved to Tenessee back in March and have been fishing the Tellico recently. I suspect that is where the guide will take you next. I had a great day there last week with 12 rainbows netted and 1 lost! It's an amazing fishery and full of beauty!

I live in Bristol and never fished that area. I'll put it on the list

Great smallies!!! I have a hell of time with them on my local water getting them to eat a fly. Those brookies were full on pigs!!!!! Looked super hard and remote too, great stuff!! Always like seeing other guys toting around the hardware too!!! That’s crap about the tarp!!! Hopefully it was the forest service and you can get it back..

I was at the same campsite where you camped at the end of the video last week. Nice place. Wild hogs tore up the ground just on the other side of the fire ring.

absolute hammer native brookies. Wow!

dang man sorry to hear your stuff got stolen, good thing you didnt leave much

What weight rod were you using in tellico?

Hey Drew have you ever fished the hex in the Midwest?

These are not the native strain

They say that Trout don't live in ugly places. This video proves it! What a great technical stream. Moss covered boulders, fallen trees and a sparkling stream filled with fat Brookies. Great stuff. It sucks that someone swiped your tarp. Can't trust people these days. Nasty dent in your shin too. Not so much wading there as it is rock climbing. Thanks Drew!

Tennessee is a great fishery. The license requirements are completely unreasonable.

Tellico is a stocked river. Fyi

If you don't fall on an East TN brookie stream, you weren't there. Thieves are as thick as mosquitoes in the Tellico area. The "pay to camp" areas are safer, but crowded. BTW, those are the fattest brookies I have ever seen in that area....of course, I would like to know exactly where you were, but that's not your MO. 😂 I'll stop by Tellico Outfitters for the info I need, They are the best. Looking forward to the next vid.

Dosen't look like idiots got your tarp, might have been the forest service, to many idiots leaving trash around, but then again, who knows. You fellas caught some really nice healthy brookies. Enjoyed watching. 👍

Have caught all the usual suspects in saltwater OTF, still get more amped about catching 10" brookies on 6x tippets....

June smallmouth in the mountains and not fishing on top? Love that you have a smallmouth video though...tight lines.

incredible place to fish for brookies! wow !

Fished here before, great place and the guys down at the shop are awesome!

Great time Drew! Don’t be a stranger and come on back anytime!

Great video. I got my first wild trout in tellico. Im going back in the next few weeks. Maybe I'll catch my first brook trout there.

Love catching river smallies. For years we used to have a "secret" down in Columbia SC. I'm from the Upstate but had friends around Cola and Lexington. We were catching smallies out of the Broad River. Needless to say it's no longer a secret.

Fifty years ago I had a secret brookie stream that looked and fished very much like the one in your video. Thank goodness there are still some pristine places that hold these gems. Thanks for the awesome video!

Been waiting to see some smallmouth action. My favorite fish. Awesome.

Great video Drew. I cant say enough good things about Cody&Micha and Tellico Outfitters. Like you,they are some fishy dudes.

Never mind just caught it from the video

Tellico!!! This is awesome! Cody is great!

Definitely earned those trout!!! Beautiful!!!

No the biggest brook trout are not in Tennessee, not even close. Great video though.

What description?

What time of year was this?

Nice creek,good to see they still got native trout down there.

Nike....Brookie Candy. Recommend also Alder Fly. Basically a Coastal Deer Hair Caddis over an olive body. Nice chunkahs...yessuh!

Great looking stream & healthy Brookies! Nice video, as usual. The thieves certainly welcomed you to east TN, but that's unfortunately all too common around this part of the state....too many dishonest, ignorant people to leave anything laying around. 🤥

Fantastic brook trout. Just a beautiful trout fishing dream! Thank you so much.

Great video I love your stuff, tellico was my first guided fly-fishing trip over a year ago. Cody has a awesome shop and he is a fantastic guy,

Looks like some fun bushwackin. I spent a lot of years Brookie fishing with a little 3wt - brings back great memories. Thanks Drew

No budlight drew ?? Lol,jk looked like a great dinner , when you gonna come to new Mexico agian ?

I've been wondering with all the off the beaten path places you go how many waders do you go through in a year?

What size rod were you using? My son and I love to fish in that part of the country

When you called that sunfish a perch, i knew you were from the south!

What a contrast between the first river (watch your step!) and that cool Brook Trout water!!

Welcome back to the southeast. Those brookies were awesome. It’s cool to see some smallmouth also. Thanks for the coolest fly videos. Your my hero

hello guys nice trout back into backwoods, I my shelf fly fish from the age of 15 I grew up in NJ, , has some nice trout rivers, but I like fishing the smaller stream away from everyone else, wild trout streams, I have caught some 2lb browns in these small streams, NJ has it.. I fish w/ 5' fly rod small streams my orvis reels 3in to 4in. I like Cherokee in June..

How you get those flyrods into those tight spots...

Stunning setting great video buddy, tight lines 🎣

Awesome place

Where are the dispersed campsites near Boone?

Love the Tennessee action!

Beautiful area but a little tough going fer an ole fart like me. 😊

stellar!!

If you are coming to Tellico to fish, it will be WORTH YOUR TIME to stop at the fly shop and talk to Cody. Great guy and he'll steer you right. Even better, hire him or one of the other guides in the shop. Great video Drew! Thanks for coming to TN!

I fished the Nantahala River last weekend!!!!!!
