Draw Down

[rhinobait]

Oh well that's good to know about Jan 10th - So, thanks for that. I suppose I could also launch at different end of the lake or ever drive to a new lake - Suppose I got spoiled being right across the street. haha.

Now in one week as of today the lake is almost 2 feet above full pool... between the crazy changing lake level and water temp, the fish are probably loosing their minds... lol

My bet is that the CoE will hold Allatoona up for a while to allow Weiss, Neely Henry and Carters to come back down closer to normal. Allatoona is still about 15' from flood stage.

I believe the draw down schedule was changed a couple of years ago- Use to be right after Labor Day weekend they would start the draw down and the refill wouldn't have started until about late Jan /Early Feb. Seems I remember something about them holding full pool 2-3 weeks longer and winter pool a few weeks shorter to allow for stable water during the spawning season. ( Course Mother nature can all ways change that plan)

With the lake this high and stained any ideas for fishing or should I find a different lake till it clears (Carters is out, fished Blue Ridge Tuesday and only caught 3), I need to get on the water but i'm terrible at heavy stained water

Trep, even with the high stained water the fishing has been pretty good. The fish are surprisingly shallow for a lot of us.

Bob,you were right. We fished Stamp Creek and caught 10+ on Shakey head Saturday.

What.....man! That is great. I do not catch 10+ in a total of months - haha. Got pictures I would love to see them, honestly.
