Yeahhhhhhhh! Today is the first day of planned rise of Chickamauga lake. Here's a link to the operation guide: http://www.tva.com/river/lakeinfo/op_guides/chickamauga.htm
It will be nice to have the lake back up and consistent for another six months. Does anyone have a good plan for following the bass and crappie with rising water? I don't know of many flats that have lots of cover that will be flooded.

I am torn Polo...I am scared that with the rise, ALL flow will cease, and then my kitty cats wont want to bite as well.

 Guess I better learn how to crappie fish better.

Flow or no flow, the fish have to eat. It is just harder to find them active.

Parksville's coming back up also... Fishing's gonna be the easiest it's ever been since Mid-late Spring a year ago!!! (Well, I HOPE so) I'm getting excited anyways! </p>

Just went by the lake at Savannah and I am telling you,...that lake sure comes up fast. I bet it is up at least a foot, maybe two since yesterday.emoEek Jmax

You are correct Dickey, but that is the dfference between you and me, I am a catcherman, you are a fisherman....I need to learn a WHOLE lot more to qualify as a fisherman!

 If fish aint biting, I am in trouble!
