For leaving Sardis so dang high above rule that you want to drain with spawn right around the corner. They are not running in these sloughs I jig. Yesterday weather was awesome water clarity was fantastic jigging shallow should have been on fire but not with almost a 2" drop daily. Forcing me too break out the boat too early sucks. Now white bass on the other hand was very plentiful and non stop action. So you got a big thank you from me staying on curve this year. NOT
They don;t care one bit. Glad I don;t have to worry about it down no the rez
I totally understand the not caring part I wouldn't care either. It makes no sense to keep it that high when they got there own curve geuss they don't care about the curve now except when they want to. There is no reason why sardis is not at a level to slow rise so far this year to date. They may have been working on something and needed it at this level.Quote:

I was trying to post a chart showing 10 foot of rise back the first week of Feb, like you it doesn't seem that they have been real concerned about getting back to curve. I quit trying to figure it out long time ago, check the levels each morning and know where to go to get started when I fish. We can bang out heads all day long and never figure this one out, least I haven in over 30 years.
The greastest crappie fishing lakes in the world and all yall do is bich and moan, simply amazing!!!!!!
Last 5 years or so I been keeping up a lot more. Last year was my first year wading so the rise/fall affects big time. Never cared about it fishing out of the boat. That's the only reason I got for the draw down is wading and it's addicting for me anyway.Quote:

That's my point these next 2 weeks will be drawing down to curve. They should allready be at curve with a slow rise. Making it hard on wading shallow there not there. There holding back above my head. Hard to wade under water. I can boat em no problem. I'd rather walk around in creeks and ditches its more controllable and very informative on what's under your nose.Quote:

Go back to your logs and see how many crappie you have actually waded and caught before the 15th of March anyway, 2 or 3 weeks early water just happens to be there this year a little early don't mean the fesh will be. It's human nature to want it now but with water temps having to push it to make 50 degrees it most likely aint happening, keep your waders handy (no pun intended), time will be here before you know it.

Yes. You can put in at teckville as low as 244
They need to reevauleate the curve.They still use the same rule curve they started with when these lakes were built,with all the silt in they (lakes) don't hold the same amount of water.
Thanks petie
Don't want no reevaluating, by your theory they would them lower the curve. It is what it is, blessed to have the fisheries we have at a lot of our back door.
They are still the four best crappie lakes in the US...... just be glad we have them.
The Rule Curve deals with water level, not volume.
I was thinking raiseing curve not lowering.I'm just use 217ft for an example, if the curve they use is the origanal from when the lake was built.My thinking is with lets say 3ft of silt on the old 217 now day's should be 220ft they'r not holding the same amount of water at 217 as they did when the lake was built .But I know the corp is about moving water not holding water.Like yall just proud of what we have.
Sardis is not filling in. If you dont believe me just ask one of the rangers
