STREAM REPORT 10.02.24

CURRENT STREAMFLOW- 202cfs, 1.6ft

We have had a lot of people contacting the shop to make sure that we are OK in Tellico Plains. We appreciate each and every one of our friends who have taken the time to check in. Everything is fine here, thankfully. We received 8-10" of rain in the Tellico area and flooding was minimal.

The Tellico is currently running at 202cfs and dropping. The river was stocked for Delayed Harvest earlier this week and we are finding a good mix of wild and stocked trout. There's not much chance of rain in the next week, so conditions should be pretty steady through the weekend and into next week.

We are continuing to get more and more info from friends and neighbors in northeast Tennessee and North Carolina. The amount of devastation is something that this area has never seen before. We are doing what we can to help those affected, and we encourage people looking to help to donate to relief organizations such as
@samaritanspurse and @unitedway. There are a lot of local supply and donation drives all over the southeast to help get supplies to flood victims. @chattanooga has made posts recently with information on where you can give blood or donate items. @southerncultureonthefly is doing a great job of posting updates and ways that we can help guides and shops in the fly fishing community that have been deeply impacted. These people are going to need a lot of support, so please help however you can.
