Tellico River
 The Tellico River rises in the westernmost mountains of the U.S. state of North Carolina but it flows mainly through Monroe County Tennessee. It is a major tributary of the Little Tennessee River and is one of the primary streams draining the Unicoi Mountains. The Tellico River and its main tributaries are renowned for their brook brown and rainbow trout fishing. Upstream from Tellico Lake above Tellico Plains Tennessee the Tellico is a premier trout stream.
