Really slow this evening.  But they always do this after it goes from big flow and warmer water to slow, colder water.

How many spillways did they close?

All but 2.  But it's supposed to rain from noon till 6 this afternoon.  Looks like quite a storm coming.  TR should jump back up to 918 I'd think.

It's a slow moving front, been looking at radar several times this morning and it has stalled out west of here all morning, but looks like it will get here later this morning.

Gosh I wanted to get down there so badly! I'd already promised to take dad up to LoZ to chase crappie and catfish prior to the flood gates being opened on Taneycomo though. We had a great day, but I was definitely Jonesing to be on Taney!

Probably thinking that now we have to clean a bunch of fish.  😀

Nice bag of fish Seth!

Nine Gates back open

Yes they are....  but the bite was slow today.  I caught them on scuds below FC pretty good.  Monkey Island was hot using powerbait I'm told.

He always has that look. Even a tournament winning brown doesn't get him to smile.....😁

I ended up cleaning all of them. He felt bad for not helping, but Lord knows he has cleaned plenty of my fish over the years.
