Came by Sangchris on Sunday and the plant was not running. Water will cool off real quick as in any power plant lake when they are not running the plant. And believe me, the fish know this.Quote:

Yeah I knew they shut off like crazy when the plant isnt running! Its crazy how fast the water temperature drops when the plant doesnt run...as stated earlier, is there a way to tell whether or not the plant is running before you head down there so an hour drive isnt wasted??
Most of the time around here it is done by word of mouth. Usually someone knows someone that works at the plant and word gets out. Most of the time in the winter they are up and running. I was really surprised to see Sangchris not pumping on Sunday. There are probably plenty of people on here that could let you know if it is pumping or not.Quote:

I had to move to the cold water that was in the 40's and low 50's to catch crappie. Once I found them though, it was fun! The power plant lakes can be funny like that. Very "Hot or Cold" , no pun intended, and it has alot to do with that plant and its cycles.....in my opinion.
