Hey Snuffy. One of my friends went up Tellico Wed. and didn't do much good. He caught a few but no keepers. I asked how far up he went and he didn't go up far. I would like to be able to go to Bakers or on up to the upper end. I usually have better luck up there this time of year.

Hey, Snuff. Fishing was tough on Tellico last week and Saturday was no exception. Our fish came off docks and in the back of creeks. We caught fish on plastics - fluke and beaver - and on a lipless crankbait. We were lucky and got some keeper bites. Good luck in Dayton next month!
