Nothing hit until afternoon and even then it was slow going until about 2:00 p.m. Caught a couple of decent size Browns. The Rainbows were hitting my Stonefly nymph pretty good for a little while. And I caught a Brook Trout. He was just a little fella, but you don't typically catch many wild Brookies at Tellico. The fishing was good. Spending a day in a beautiful and secluded area was great.
August 26, 20197 yr Author Yaaa....we caught something ... I'm not on name terms with these fishy,s ..unless there on my plate .. I don't know my Browns from my Brookie,s..... Pity we couldn't have stayed in bed a bit longer !!!...
September 6, 20196 yr Time to grab your seat in the canoe Doreen. This will be our last run on the Ocoee in 2019 so we have to make this one count. Plus, it'll be good to spend some quality time together...

Brookies are my fav. catch though and fav. for eats too 😍 Sorry for the interruption .... carry on with the lazy soddin fun thing

If it can be arranged, you should prepare your fish downwind from the bears. If a hungry bear decides it wants your fish, not much you can do but take the loss on that one.

The cooler weather should be coming around anytime now. Good time to do some hiking and climbing. Right now the creeks are running low and it's too damn hot to do much on dry land. I'll be glad to see Fall get here. On 9/7/2019 at 4:46 AM, Doreensfree said: That lady in the canoe seems a bit, I don't know what the politically correct term is....sturdy?

Agree 100% - pure culinary heaven!! Bears? No problem!
September 13, 20196 yr No big plans this weekend, unless you want to help out with some carpentry work on a project I've got going. We're definitely not going down to Chattanooga this weekend. They had a big water main break this morning and Tennessee American just announced they don't have any idea when the water will be back up and running in downtown and the surrounding areas. It's been hot as blue blazes all week and now they don't have running water...that's one helluva combination.

September 21, 20196 yr Did an eight-mile hike and a bit of caving at Virgin Falls this morning. Thought I would pass that along as I figured Doreen would enjoy the name "Virgin Falls."

October 11, 20196 yr Doreen, get your ropes and harness ready. We're climbing at Denny Cove tomorrow! And then...keep your ropes and harness handy. Things could get weird after we're done climbing.

October 24, 20196 yr The only thing better than a three-day weekend would be a four-day weekend. Heading out for Tellico Plains bright and early in the morning. We're gonna hike the Slickrock and Citico Wilderness Loop and throw in some shorter out-and-back hikes for fishing opportunities and great views. A long walk in the mountains. Fly fishing for trout. Camping near clear mountain streams...Perfect! You in Doreen?
