Strange thing I've notice since moving to the Tennessee Valley. With high flows the main lake areas may be low, but the narrower river sections will actually be higher than normal. That's the reason Cataco Creek is high, but the wider main lake areas of Wheeler near the dam are actually a couple feet low. I bet if you go upstream on Guntersville you'll find much higher water. I'll be glad when things get back to normal. My favorite time to fish is during the fall when Wheeler drops four or five feet, the water clears up in the sloughs and creeks and the water temperate gets into the low 60's and upper 50's. I have a feeling by the time that happens I'll be buried in work or travelling again.
