Awesome for sure.

I think is is a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) decision. You are allowed to fish below AGFC lake dams. I’m not sure why USACE would have different rules in different states. Maybe the dams Randy fishes below are TVA?

I have always heard there were 2 to 3 hundred pound catfish below the Dam on Greers Ferry Lake..... truth or fiction.

They do have different rules in different districts....which means different rules for different states. There was a LT Colonel in the Nashville District Office that decided we needed protection from the hazards of fishing below Corp dams in KY and TN. Congress passed a law which put a stop to his idea. TVA never implemented any such rules below their dams.

Fiction. I have electrofished right below the dams of Greers Ferry, Norfork, and Bull Shoals. I have seen some massive Brown Trout, Longnose Gar, Hybrid Striped Bass, Blue Catfish (<50-lbs), Stripers, and Walleye. All but the trout come from the lake during spillway flood releases. They are that big when they go over the dam’s spillway. The water is too cold in the tailwater for the fish to grow that big (besides trout).

Interesting about fish coming over the spill gates. The majority of the black nose crappie below Center Hill came though the spill gates. About 3 years back.....long before I started a YouTube channel......a nephew and I fished the same spot after an unusually wet winter and they had been spilling for weeks. We took home 2 limits of crappie....30 fish......with the smallest being 14 inches and many were 15-16 inches. They were stacked in there like cord wood. Both of us were fishing the Ice Cube Rockin’ Drift with 2# test line. I could miss my bet but I am thinking....hoping....my son and I will get them big time Thursday. We have had days where we limited out on big crappie and then hit those waterfalls and have fun catching around 100 brook trout in the 10-11 inch range before heading home. I would fish the Caney much more but it is a difficult place for me to launch a boat by myself. There have been past years where we got into some 10 inch bluegill in that cold water. You never know what you are going to hook into up there.....50 pound stripers cruise those waters in the winter on a regular basis.
