SYCAMORE CREEK – MAY 2007 STREAM OF THE MONTH

( Written by Jim Herrig )
Monday, 28 May 2007

Abstract:  Sycamore Creek is a tributary stream to the Tellico River in the Cherokee National Forest (Big Junction Quad Map). It is easy to access from Forest Service trail 163; southern strain brook trout become abundant about 2 miles upstream of the confluence.  There are no significant waterfalls until you get to the very upper end of the stream where the brook trout are. Even these falls are only about 10 to 15 feet high. There are about 4 miles of fishable water in Sycamore Creek; it has a trail with and easy grade beside it most of its length.

The lack of rainfall has the natural, small trout streams running very low and clear. Without some rainfall soon, they will probably suffer. However, the tailwaters are currently in good shape with coldwater flows being released from the dams. The drift boat fishing on the tailraces is actually better right now than the past couple of years on most of our rivers. Here is an update on a few, and our picks for the next 45 days.
