Water Down Fri-Sun -- Boards Back Up

[Phil Lilley]

The people at Empire just informed us that they will be drawing down the lake to build the boards back at Powersite. The Corp will be running water, though, to keep the upper end watered during this time. They'll start drawing it down Friday late and through the night the water will be completely off. Saturday am they will start running water- about one unit.

This means that Taneycomo's level and generation schedule will be back to normal after the weekend.

Expect some down water after the boards are back up.

Thanks for the info Phil. If that is the case there may be some wading water soon. I may get to come back before school starts up:).

Keep us informed!!

Tight lines,

So does this mean too low for decent fishing in the trophy area?

"Decent" subject to your definition. Conditions should be far from what we've been seeing. The fishing part depends on the fisherman.

I don't get down there much so I'm trying to figure out what this means for wade fishing the upper stretch. Is it so low that there will be almost no water, or like 0-1 generator typically looked in the past? Decent for me means worth trying.

It won't be much different than what it's doing each morning right now. Wading will be tough but not impossible.
