Saturday October 28 was a cold and windy morning.  A brisk wind was blowing over the river.  Now, before you get too far along, this is not a fishing trip story.  This is a story of helping out a good cause.  In fact, people gave up their Saturday to fish to help out with Casting for Recovery.

Tellico River - Water levels are approaching the normal fall mark. Water
temperatures are cool and fluctuating with the daily ambient temperature.
The leaf fall is near complete. It is time to start back wearing waders
here. The delayed harvest section is in full swing. The area with special
regulations is from Turkey creek up to the mouth of the North River. The
river is fishing well for both stocked rainbows and wild trout. The browns
are more aggressive as they are feeling the spawning urge. Both the North
and Bald rivers are in good shape and fishing well. Nice afternoons are
allowing some dry fly fishing here also.

I decided to go out and do some trout fishing for myself.  I haven’t fished for myself in some time.  I checked the local streams in the area via the TVA website and found that all the dams in my area would be flowing at least two generators.  Why am I not surprised that one of the few weekends I have totally free, the dams decide to flow copious amounts of water?  Just my luck.
