We are expecting more rain next week. I believe the water will still be up this time next week. They'll try to hold some water to help relieve the flooding below. TVA can go up to 365 in the summer (Higher if they have too) but they don't want too. At about 375' and change she pours over the gates. I ain't seen it that high in years!

Next week's temps are supsed to start out in the 70's so there ya go. I think the blacks for sure are gonna try to make hay while the sun's shin'n. They will def. head to the flooded brush. Only problem I had when the water got up over 361 last time, was getting to them. Heck there was water backed up in cow pastures where I fish! They were burried up in the buck brush & you just about had to wade to get to'um.

If they start drop'n the lake, troll'n shallow in a little deeper water might be the best bet. Falling water really screws up their game plan & mine too!

Rule of thumb this time of year is rising water move in, falling water move out.

Good luck on your trip!
