Has anyone seen what Old Hickory looks like after all the rain? TVA shows that they have been pulling a bunch of water which should be great for the ledge bite. I was planning on heading to either Schute's Branch or Cedar Creek tomorrow as long as the water doesn't look like chocolate milk. Has anyone been out that way?

I fished Friday from daybreak until 10:00 and the water was up slightly and amazingly clear for all the rain we had. Not much trash in the main channel and they were pulling water. Didn't go this morning but judging by the color of upper Drakes Creek I suspect much more mud had moved into OH overnight on Friday. Going tomorrow AM regardless, high water means buzzbaits and frogs.

It was more stained today for sure. We didn't find any on the ledge. Seemed like they had moved off the channel with the water temp change. All fish today caught on rocks and weed edges with a bright med crank. Much more shallow than right before the rain.

I fished from the bank Friday morning at rockland. Caught a bunch of bass in the rocks on a purple football jig. Water didn't look bad. I'm sure its more muddy by now.

Stained and we too found them moved shallow. Blue chrome red eye and bright spro cranks were the ticket for us.

Great information guys, wish I didn't have to work, I'd be out there for sure. Keep up the good work.

Just got off the lake... The channel was full of trees and junk but creeks were still in good shape. Ended up with 12 or 13 keepers. This was the bigges and went 4.85 on my scale. 3543
