I fished Tellico last Thur (3-3-2011) and the water was muddy. Temps ranged from 55-58. I caught most of my keepers in 2.5 FOW using a chart/red jig tipped with minnows and/or Nibbles. Ended up with 11 keepers and only threw back 4 short ones. This keeper ratio is good for Tellico. I sure hope it keeps up. Tight Lines Yall
