TVA has been running a pulsing schedule for the last couple of weeks. They are bringing the lakes up to summer pool and still have the one generator down for maintenance. What does this mean for me, you ask? It means great water levels for wading! This is the best time of year for a wade fisherman to get out and fish the Hi.
The recreational release schedule runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Once we get our recreational flow started, which is 1 generator from 10AM-11AM and 2 generators from 11AM-7PM, the wading opportunities are limited. They give us this flow so we can book drift boat trips and the rafting companies can rent rafts. It's the only time of year that we have a somewhat guaranteed water release schedule. As much of a guarantee as we can get anyway.
The moral of the story is this: Get out and enjoy the great fishing that the Hi is giving up this year. Perfect water levels for wading, rising fish, bugs and gorgeous weather. See ya out there!
