Tellico River Road Access

[SlabDog]

I've just bought my lifetime Senior Sportsman license and I'm going to get back into trout fishing. I do both open face spinning and fly fishing at times, but mostly open face spinning. I used to trout fish a lot, but on the Hiwassee. I've been looking at Tellico along the River Road, but access don't look to good on Google maps street view. Is it as bad as it looks? Or are there places you can park and walk down the bank to fish that are still productive? Thanks for any info!

There's single vehicle turnoffs every 1/8 mile or so.

Access is actually quite good in most places at tellico. Buy some felt bottomed wading boots because it is slicker than owl snot.

Thanks for the help!

Be aware that Tellico has some license funkiness and requires a special stamp for the trophy section. Also I believe certain sections are limited to fly rods as well as having hook restrictions.
