Got emails from my marina today that the docks themselves were good, but you had to swim through water to get to them. Hoping is dries out this weekend.

The first bridge on Browns Bridge is about to flood or it was close earlier today. I've never seen it this bad

That is a bogus claim that Tennessee does not recognize.

You want the Tennessee River water to keep Atlanta wet. Your fault for building a city with no water resources to support it.

Perhaps Georgia should look at that huge body of water to the East of them, and build some desalination plants.

Hmmm....So you are bitching about about water in a river in one state being used as a resource for another state

What time of year are they shallow? Like less than 5 feet or so? Are they pretty easy to catch then? Topwater action?

I'd like to catch spots with a fly rod but would need shallow water fishing just stripping streamers and such.

For the most part, they are never shallow here. When they spawn, there are some and when the water warms in February, there are some shallows ones.

I have had guys use a fly rod before, your best bet is in june when they are on the brush piles,. I can position you around them in 25 feet of water and you can use a popper to draw them up. I have also had a guy use a big streamer to draw them up

Their position is very predictable in June

Yeah, you could say that.

Here's the playground at Goldstar Park in Wetumpka, AL on a regular day.



And here it is a couple of days ago

Yeah.

Here's a graph of the USGS gauge height for the last two weeks. It was 30' above normal.

Does this really work? You don't have to get down there to them?
