if they are running 83000cfs from Guntersville it means lots of gates open and lots of current. Usually any amount over 48000 means some gates are open and anything under turbines only generating with no gates , although this year they have cracked the gates a bit with the discharge being under 48000 for some reason.. Also for some reason they have a mad on about keeping the lake about 2 to 3 ft below normal pool this winter . Use to be to control milfoil and hydrilla but it doesnt work with the eel or ribbon grass as it grows too deep to be affected by low water temps
