Good news for those of you who live in Tennessee! The current forecast for the Caney Fork (and the Cumberland as well) indicate that flows are going to be decreasing within the next week or so...finally I might add. Since I'm planning on heading back to TN for a couple of weeks in the middle of June, I like the sound of fishing my old home tailwater.
If you want to see for yourself, check out this great spreadsheet from the Army Corps of Engineers. It includes lake elevations as well as predicted inflow and outflow for all area lakes. The interesting piece is that they plan on cutting back generation once Center Hill Lake reaches an elevation of around 633.5'. In recent years, with work taking place to address seepage around the dam, elevations were kept below 630'. Thankfully the target elevations seem to have increased a bit which will be a good thing for the tailwater fishermen!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the info--I will be calling David sometimes next week to set a trip up with him in June. Do you think June is the best time to fish the Caney? Thanks for sharing
