River conditions

[Bassman tr21]

Last time you where out. Was there a lot of debris. Want to go fish but not mess the boat up.

Just leaves etc. No trees or anything. Water color was bad but I have caught fish in worse conditions. We had a few bites lost one big fish but boated nothing Thursday on hiwassee.

Headed for Full Pool, And Then some. Looks like they'll be letting some water out of Watts Bar for a couple of days. Almost 685 by Monday Night. I'd start watching for large floaters anytime now!

 

[Bassman tr21]

Thanks for the reports. I figured with all the flooding the river will have lots of trash

It's not exactly clear. A bunch of small to medium limbs on the main lake with the occasional big floater today.

I drove by Harrison Bay earlier today and it looked like full pool or higher.

Stopped by the dam and it was wide open and the water level was the highest I have ever seen.

That Blue metal walkway and fishing pier was completely under water.

All the parking lots were full of cars, seemed like half the town was down there looking at it.

Went out after Church today put in at Holly Circle water was about 10 inches from top of walk way to do the floating dock came back in at 4:30 water was just over the walk way.Rising fast not to much trash yet soon as it starts to drop look out.

Wow that’s pretty high. I wonder how much higher it will get.

 

[Muskrat]

Average outflow at the dam around 175,000 cfs the next couple of days.

I wonder where the tanks are now?

 

[Fishheadspin]

Tanks were washed away by piney creek. Piney dumps into watts bar.. not sure those tanks will make it through the dam

 

[JEEPnFISH]

I read somewhere today they were recovered.

 

[Tenncrapie]

Saw several big trees today and 1 railroad crosstie up around Sailcreek. Good time to stay home.

 

[churly]

I heard of several “impacts” made by bass boaters this weekend.

 

[river rat]

Kentucky lake is 8 ft above summer pool !!

 

[jimwarden]

Tim Horton reported Pickwick hadn’t been as high since 1892. Photo of McFarland bottom campground completely underwater.

 

[Bassman tr21]

I just drove over the dam on the chic.there is all kinds of stuff floating out there.

 

[WaterLife]

Yes, the tanks were recovered and will not be washing further downstream.
