Cumberland is 22ft below Summer Pool ... 3-5ft lower than in the past two years, as of this date ... and never reached over 716 this year (Summer Pool is 723).

Wow!
Yeah, Buck ... Cumberland is pulled down to ~690 for Winter Pool (Summer Pool is ~723). The drainage area did not receive enough rain to take it to Summer Pool this year.

They kept it down to work on the gates at the dam according to a corps news release.

Sad to say it was a tough week. Either I suck at crappie fishing or the conditions weren't right or both. Tried everything; main lake coves, up the creeks... minnows, hair jigs, soft plastics, etc... Wolf creek was 2-3 degrees cooler than some of the other creeks but only found a few (with some help). The ones we found were 20' deep in 20-25 fow. water temp was 76.5 - 78 something. We did get a guide to catch some stripers on Wednesday. Have some fish fillets in the freezer, but no crappie.
