Born and raised in Tellico. Fished these holes all my life. I just took one of my sons this Saturday. Caught our limit by 7:30 am. Whole kernel corn gets em every time. Those 14 trout are in the freezer. Nothing like rainbow filets. Yum! I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up!

You are a blessed man! Having the opportunity to just go out, fish and to revel in the beauty of the moment. See how serving God has its' perks!?

Always do the right thing, it confuses people! Great video man

Looks like a good time😎👍🏻

that's a beautiful stream. Where there are little fish there are big fish

Great video today! Beautiful place

So glad you made it there.

Next time you are in our area you need to bring your kayak and check out Indian Boundary Lake for some bass, catfish and sunfish. Lots of great fishing spots in the area.

Dude that's awesome.🤙Beautiful place and gorgeous trout and Smalley's

I've always wanted to fish the tellico, that little waterfall looked beautiful

Awesome video!!!

thank you Sir for a great trip

Great video! And we got our Peace up in Mts of N.Ga/NC/SC border 2night trip....so great quote and on time!

Beautiful place to fish!

I've caught so many more fish using the tiny R. I never seen one until seeing you use them on your show. Thank you.

Amazing!!!!

wow... beautiful.. now this is what I am more used to fishing in... OH! I see.. that friend of yours was using cookies as bait to get you outta bed so early!!! Now we know the secret!! I have spent some time out of the states and I had a friend from Nicaragua come and visit me up here (in Oregon back in the late 70's) once.. I took him fishing and to a hatchery and he couldn't understand why we could not fish there.. and when I told him we let these fish go and caught them later in rivers and ponds.. Well that only confused him more.. He had never heard of such foolishness in his life..Great spot.. you just need to change tactics a bit for trout.. thanks for the share and thank your friend too.. carry on and get a nap in..

Teeny r never fails Rebel should be outfitting you with all the best equipment another great video from the king of the creek

That hatchery visit looked like fun!

Nice trout! 👍

I've fished the Tellico before . It's a beautiful river.

Good video my friend

Small .... big ....when as you say “fish on” that’s the feeling that was worth chunking that lure out there Now my question....how can any southern boy eat a ... Little Debbie and not a Moon Pie and wash it down with a RC Cola ... just asking 😊

Soo cool man love those trout and beautiful smalies. We have there little cousin the Suwannee bass down here in Florida great video

I will be down there at Chattanooga fishing with Ty Konkle on October 5th. My youngest son Nathan caught the biggest Blue catfish of his life last October with Joe. 68.9lb

I've always wanted to fish there!

Suggestion, use pliers with small lures. You do not want to hike in and have a micro hook ruin you day, it did mine!

Hey...was just right there at the falls three weeks ago. Next time go over to close by Citico creek. Love to see you travel and fish all our beautiful east Tennessee, SE Kentucky,SW Virginia and west North Carolina, and North Georgia mountain rivers. Now that you are a full timer you have a lifetime of fishing opportunities within a 5 hour drive to explore.

I was there Tuesday doing work at Tellico beach I thought hey im gonna wet a line well guess what I forgot the rods I keep in my van took them out to respool but I had lures but nothing to cast with a stick looked tempting.. great video keep it up

Watching those fish feed reminded me of something. there is a very deep pond about 15 miles from my home on private property feed and drained into Captina Creek that runs from Barnesville Ohio to the Ohio river. It's fortunately a very well preserved creek with a couple of coal mines on it so it's been a struggle to keep it clean. My buddy worked at the pond called Shawn lake and it's stocked with trout. His job was to cut the grass, keep the grounds up and feed the fish. the trout were feed daily with 50 lb bags of dog food. a lot of people pay to fish there. NFL players, especially the Pittsburgh Steelers. frequent it. you can't fish there unless you paid for your permit to enter and enjoy. i personally have never fished the lake nor caught a trout from the creek. A lot of small mouth and rock bass though. It's full of wild life. If you ever get to Ohio you need to fish Capatina first and then if you can onto some property on Sunfish Creek in Clarington about 10 miles further south that is fishing heaven if you go a few miles up the creek. Most of the creek runs through private property. I had a friend who owned some land there and went on weekends. I could catch 5 lb channel cat all day on salad shrimp at noon on a sunny day all day long in a creek not more than 20 foot wide and barely a spot of water over your head.

The tellico is one of my favorite places to go camp and fish

Another nice video! River looks kinda like Wilson Creek in NC

👍👍. Teenie R BEST bait for pond and creek fishing! Keep'em coming, John!!👏😀😎✌️👊✝💪🐟🐡🎣☮🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hi, my name is Jake. I really enjoy the content of your videos. Me and my 5 year old son watch your videos together. What's nice is, I don't have to worry about any bad language on any of your videos. I also love the bible verse at the end off each video.

Ok, I am extremely jealous of the gorgeous spots that you have to fish.

John! Dude!! I was thinking while you were showing the fish hatchery and you said "no wonder why I can catch a fish, they're all right here..."...I was thinking that all you needed right then and there would be a lawn chair, a 1-liter Mountain Dew, about FIVE Taco's from pollo loco and a brand new package of Hellgrammites…..and you would have the fishing trip of a life time!! LOLL!!!!!

I went fishing today after work in a local creek and caught 2 bass on the Teeny r lure that I've been seeing you use and it works for me too

Awesome video like always! I live in the same area and would like to fish with you sometime. 🎣

Awesome sir another good video. Some of those trout were a lot bigger than I’ve ever seen. If you like to catch a lot of catfish and some really big ones you should get ahold of Joe from Catt Cats fishing I’ve went out with him a few times and it’s always a blast. Captain Joe knows his stuff

I've been wanting to fish up there the hatchery hoarding all the fish your the only person i know that would go to a trout stream an try to catch bass lol

I keep saying I’m gonna go and fish there just haven’t made it yet. It’s some good fishing for sure. Nice video 👍🏻

0:53 I’ve fished that spot a caught a bunch of rainbow trout

Youre just down stream from my family cabin near the rangers station

The fish ain’t gonna fish themselves 😝

Very cool...should have brought your fly rod and did it up right 😀

We camp up there alot and have never managed to actually get into the hatchery. It's ALWAYS closed!

The hatchery is awesome. I'm surprised on how the size of the fish varied so much.

Зачётный видосище так держать

Caught my 1st brown trout in the Telico

Did u try the North river or the bald river they have some nice native brown trout n Brooks. ??! 😎

Baby falls is a good spot to start ar

Blaine summer went to my high school. There are a ton of his records in our gym

Little Debbie peanut butter and chocolate bars for me all the way.

I’m back up here and you were right by my house to days ago bro

You should come to Montana and fish for Grayling I can show you a awesome spot that only montanains know about lol

To get to the big ones sometimes you got to go through the small ones first to get to the big LOL

I live in Murphy and got a Tennessee license after that ocoee video...have you fished Turtletown Creek.

You know you thought about using that caterpillar as bait lol

Dang, if that hatchery is for the river they need to release some of those monster trout. I expected to see some 2 or 3 pounders out of there.

That second fish was very nice rainbow!

Did I just hear you that Micropterus dolomieu is better than Oncorhyncus mykss gairdneri?? Granted I have O.m. irideus here which are lake run Steelhead. But in the summer I fish for Smallmouth bass cuz a 4-5lber is next best thing to a SteelheaD(I can't catch Musky or they might be in).

What part of the Tellico were you fishing.

Hard day of fishing for getting up so early.

NET!

How big are those trout?

I live here

Glad you made ro that place to fish. Just a little tip that I practice when releasing trout, try not to handle them, I know "they" say you can wet your hands completely before picking them up but I have seen more times than not that the trout will die shortly after handling. So I practice this method, when the fish is by shore or boat I lift just head out of the water and use forceps to remove the hook without touching the fish. I understand for you tube you want to show the folks the fish. Second practice is if I touch a legal fish I keep it. If it's not a legal fish I do not touch it. Love your videos. Keep on pluggin

To bad u couldn't fish at the hatchery!

Hello

I'd rather catch Smallmouth too!
