Flow increase at Midnight tonight.

I just looked at the TVA website and the flow from 12-1am tonight will be 2 generators or more. The projection however is for the flow to only average 8-9000 cfs for the rest of the day but the fish might be more active for that 1 hour of time. I don't think that I'll get up for that 1 hour. It would be fun to see if it made a difference if one was out there on the water.

Polo, you wondering about fishing on the lake or below the dam with this thread. Sorry for bein so dumb!

Either, I haven't seen more than one generator on for probably three weeks now. It might really turn the fish on. Too bad that they aren't going to leave the flow going for a day or so. It would make for a great day.

Ive been watching tva website also polo dog and it has been a while since they've had more than one generator running. Ive been waiting for them to pull more water to fire things up. We were out a coulple months ago when they had several generators operating and had a great small mouth day. Wish I could stay up that late tonight, I might get out and try it.

I think that they are baiting us. If you look at the data from early this morning the flow did not increase. They have posted that they will increase the flow tonight too, I wonder if it's really going to happen.

I'm with you, when there is increased flow there is increased activity in my experience.

Obviously trying to sell more tickets for late night fishing!

Same thing last night and tonight but we are supposed to have an increase to 10000cfs on the 24th. I hope that that is the trught this time. Soon they will start letting out more to bring the lake down. Right now we aren't much below summer pool.
