2025 Trout stocking schedules released

[7mm08]

Up where we fish on Tellico and Citico, one reason is because they close fishing for two days after stocking to give the fish an opportunity to disperse. They can't close for stocking without letting people know when its closed.

Actually that is fair. On the Clinch they back it up to the boat ramp and there is a depression there…… the locals go and stand in a semi circle and yank them out as the truck dumps them!!!! Now that's fishing!!! Not.

My dad used to take us to the clinch by clinton back in the late 70's and the fishing was phenomenal. Always limited on 12"+ trout and you were in the middle of nowhere. now the big hay fields we walked up to get to the river are a church, a prison and a dollar general; the old country road is a 4 lane highway with so much more shopping all over that area.

Yeah. Not a fan of that approach. I'm looking forward to wading citico creek tomorrow. It's always a little work to get on the fish there. I think some folks cheat on days it closed but giving the fish a chance to spread out makes for a much better experience.
