Sorry I can't provide any good information....I've fished Tellico for the past 5 years and always fished from a boat. I'm not sure what land the surrounds the lake is "public" land versus "private" land. My suggestion would be to find a good map. WalMart has a book (sporting good section) that has all the East Tenn lakes/streams...this might help you. Another suggestion would be to contact the State Rangers....pm me with your name and tele no. maybe we can hook up one day soon.
