Us'ns city folk don't know the hill folk slang..... Sorry....

I've fished that lake since the 70's.

CC is all I've ever heard and I'm only an hour away.

Jim how long ago did you live in Greenfield i transferred up there when Summerfresh bought the grocery store. Lived and worked there till my mom got sick back in 2011 then i moved to Mt. Vernon to take care of her.

Yes - that little cove is at the end/start of where the channel swings in-- great transition spot.......

Sac: I moved there in 1963 from Maryvillee MO and moved back to Springfield when I rerired in 1985. I was borned and raised in Springfield so that's were I wanted to be when I leave this world, which is'nt long because I'm 90 and onehalf. I saw the lake built and have been allover the bottoms helping farmers with conservation work. Have the old 1976 geological maps before the lake was built. They show every thing that was there before the lake filled up. In one way it's like table rock in that when we stood on the dam after it was constructed someone ask when it would be full an the officer incharge said in about a year. Well that was November and the next spring it was as full as it has ever been, as I remember about 898 .As you rember TR was not finished when the flood just about took it out. The middle three sections were not in yet constructed.

when i lived in Greenfield I used to fish with Johnny Wilkingson. he pointed out many things to me that used to be there before the lake was built. the upper end of the lake is full of old rock fences and foundations and johnny showed me several. hes in his 90's or close to it and still gets around pretty well in fact when it warms up we plan on going fishing.
