Thread: Rickie & I went dam hunting today

South end again.



Lock chamber, river side wall on top.

Chamber again, you can see one of the gates on the right.



Blue.

great pics,
tell me what equipment you're using please,
i see it's a Lowrance LSS 2, what does the version 2.2 mean?
and what is the fish finder your viewing it on,
how do you get the pictures so close up? mine always look a long distance away.

thanks

Thanks Brett.

The images are a mix of my 12T and Gen 1 HDS 7. I'm not sure about the 2.2, my guess is it's the structure scan version. I use Photobucket for image hosting, if you click on the IMG. code, copy and then paste code in the body of the reply they will show up big. Don't use the "insert image" feature.

Awesome images, Justin. Rickie stopped by and we talked about the trip.

I plan on showing these to my Dad. I remember well watching he and my uncle fishing at the dam at Eddyville as a kid, before the lake was raised. Just never heard about Dam E and it doesn't show up on my lake maps. I'll see if Dad remembers this dam prior to the lake flooding in 65. My Dad worked on dams all up and down the Cumberland and Ohio so he may recognize many of the features.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Those are some really neat pictures.

There were four gates on the locks, and we were correct about the recesses in the walls. The gates moved into the recesses when they were open. Also the lock chamber was 52' X 280', pretty close to that 300' estimate.

I bet that one gate on the downstream side was, in fact laying down inside the lock chamber like we guessed...

Can you post the photograph...??
