Another thing.  If the fishing turns on like crazy you better watch out

That is exactly how that went down! When I got to the island I was slaying them and before you knew it I was trying to run underwater to get back to the access! Never heard a horn at all. I can only imagine at night how that could turn out. It was the middle of the afternoon when it happened to me.

Minimum flow has made that regress even deeper. I tried once to navigate that cane jungle on that bank. I forced my way through to the gravel road and walked back to the access. Not a good out either.

You cannot hear the horn at Handicap except in very specific conditions.  

I was scrambling across Rim Shoals when the water started coming up and I said to a guy "hey the water is coming up".  He said "No it's not I didn't hear a horn"  I told him you can't hear it at Rim but he didn't believe me.  Gary had to go get him off the island a while later.

Lucky that he had somewhere to go that stayed above the water level. Tailwaters can be dangerous.
