TVA shows that the water will start falling fast tomorrow from Noon to 6 pm. so looks like they are cutting the flood gates back to just a trickle. So fishing below Pickwick dam should be hot this week if the rain will hold off. Its showing the water level to be around 365 that is our old normal for up in the day. AS the water below the dam used to rise around 5 ft each day then fall out each night. But its not been normal in years now.

But now for the bad part, If I can only get enough time to go it would be nice.

Thanks for the update. I'm heading there on Friday, but am still undecided on whether to fish the lake or below the dam.

My advice is to fish the river, it's red hot!

If there is more than 30,000 flowing below the dam I highly suggest you go on the river!!!

The river gets the nod for the start today. It's going to be cool all day. The smallies were hitting hard and jumping all night long (in my dreams).

There still running around 116,000 Cubic feet of water today. Around 20 boats from the new lock wall down to the first ditch fishing for Sauger. Theres some good limits of those being caught the last few days. Most are early then they slack off.

Also seen a few small mouth fishing from the Botel down river on the Savannah Side.

Sure hope to get to fish next Tuesday, Then was planning on fishing Friday. But have to take my wife to Sterns in Memphis for a stress test. So Friday is out.
