just don't get to go all that often. Have only had one bad trip, there ... and the lake was up and muddy from some recent heavy rains. Most of my best "out of state" trips have been at Watts Bar .... but, like Weiss, it's all in the timing of the trip. Watts Bar is a 4hr trip ... Weiss is a 6hr trip - so I don't get to make it down that way more than a couple of times a year. Even Green River Lake is a 2hr drive ... and Taylorsville or Cave Run are 1.5hr drives. Hopefully, when I get my lil bros boat functional, or buy myself one ... then I can start getting back to some of the lakes I used to fish so often (Green River, Herrington, Cave Run, Taylorsville). ... cp
