Thread: Is Scottsboro under water......

I've decided they're trying to turn east TN into a desert. Unless they've closed them and I didn't know it, which is possible, there's been some flood gates open continuously for probably 6-8 weeks.

There were mud flats at South Sauty last weekend. I've seen dirt in that area before, but not acres of it like I saw the other day.

I was the last week and they didn't have any open.....looked like they had all the turbins going though.

They must have closed them just to make sure they still worked.

Creeks are up but they keeping the lake way down for some reason?

I cannot believe you didn’t call me to go sauger fishing

I'm glad you caught some. We used to catch a lot of those below nick-a-jack and looked forward forward to the winter months and the sauger run. After they put that 15 inch limit on them it started going down. I thought it was stupid and still do. The only thing you could keep was the big egg laying females. I told the biologist if ya'll were raising kids you would kill the women. I don't think they catch a lot like they used to. I quit fishing for them years ago.
