361.28 10 amm,may 16th,not bad considering another 4 in of rain have fallen,thats 2 ft over pool and a hair.

Currently 108,000 cfs sec going out,be about the 18th when both match at about 65,000 cfs.

At 30- 60,000 the ledge bite is spuperb as it takes some current,after about a few weeks or so  it will go down to about 26,000-32 the norm,for this time of year,this occurs after the flooding and spring rains.

The Paul Steel memorial Tournament is sheduled to go off on the 26th,that typically is about the heavest ledge bite weigh in around,after that it tends to fall off.Weights last year exceeded 30 lbs for five fish.

Current lake level is 362.65  thats about 1  1/2 ft less than yesterday,meaing teh dock at port road is completely visable,possibly usable.

At some time during the high water someone backed into the handrail and bent it over badly,this is going to be commerated by the gov in july as its a fairly new dock.Some one  has their work cut out to replace or repair prior.

Projected by 5/17-359.80

Meaning by the morning of 5/18 -summer pool

Shallows are chock full of panfish and catfish,yes catfish, a good friend of mine whom I sometimes depend to much upon got broke off on light line ,storms ending the day abruptly and prematurely.

But when lake or natures conditions warrent it best to be safe than sorry.

Dont look now getting ready to rain again.les hope this passes on thru.

I agree,ran into a post elsewhere where the daid they told another to get off the lake and it was closed went to the cg website it said tenn river around nashville and printed this pic

Of guys fishing and hadnt heard anything about a closing ,lil while later you had posted it so went back to the cg web-http://www.piersystem.com/go/doc/425/539343/ and found this correction.Those fishing were within 200 yards of the cg station.

Also told about port road being the only place around here that I know one can launch at.

Apparently slow about it and fines most likly after today,maybe many are trying to get in one last quickie,topwater bite is superb,but not worth the fine.

So my quess is those start tomorrow,tug hadnt been moved and they are going way up the creeks so must be in those dingys ,maybe outrunem,but being closed for a reason most of the state is under emergency measures or control-dont they shoot looters and bass fishermen.Har har

Kind of immaterial now that the lake is CLOSED,launching from there until opened agin is about a 3 grand fine

Currently at 367 now,following pics show the difference of but a couple of days the porta john is about to flip,and bet it has a load at its base.

If your wondering how they are still getting in to fishI stopped took the guys pic and asked him,Port road is still open,most likly at 370 as its a steep ramp,but one has no acess to the dock its underwater completely and is a hazard,if one doesnt know where its at,one also has to have a hambys or haave assistance in launching.

Still rising, announcement as follows from the knetucky portion.

Ky Lake new projection is going up…now predicted to be 370.5 by Saturday….that is 11.5 ft over summer pool. That has not been posted on TVA site yet..but was in a message sent out to resort owners by the local Sheriffs dept shortly ago advising to prepare now for it.

Guess that puts my ABA T sat on port road not viable.

Ps Nashville broke their previous flood level record set in the 37 flood,and had ten deaths as a result,even the grand old opry house got it as well as about 1500 toursits had to be shuttled in water from the hotel,this is a nashville pic.
