Tellico Nymph

The Tellico Nymph is a classic nymph pattern developed in Eastern Tennessee. The Tellico Nymph has remained popular in the East, but also makes a great attractor pattern here in the West for trout. Many anglers have adopted the Tellico as their "go to" Bluegill pattern. Slowly stripped and twitched, the Tellico Nymph is deadly on Bluegill!
