Heard the Corp of Engineers is going to be dropping lake levels below normal winter lake levels to help get water to the Mississippi. I'm assuming this would be Cumberland and Tennessee river systems. Currently, barges are not being loaded to full capacity due to the low river water levels. Check the current lake levels on the Corp web site so you don't tear up a lower unit or prop. There are some rumors out there that a lot of ramps will be high and dry and possible the bottoms in Paris won't have water this year for duck hunting. Not that I do a lot of duck hunting but winter is my favorite time for crappie fishing.

Have a good one!
