Texas Rig - Not sure how long you have been in this area but I moved to Hendesonville in 1998. Millfoil was thick in certain parts of Drakes Creek, Cedar Creek area, the stretch from Station Camp up to the 109 bridge on the Gallatin side of the channel, the cove by Cages Bend Campground, the entire Wilson County side from 109 bridge up to the steam plant, and all around the Steam Plant outflow down to the deep channel bend. Great matted grass frog fishing in the summer. The millfoil began to disappear as they systematically sprayed around the 109 area. Then we had some incredible cold winters, and I believe the 2010 flood virtually wiped out any remaining grass beds. A return of millfoil would be a tremendous thing for fishermen. Too bad the Corps will cowtow to lakefront homeowner interests and spray herbicide again. We'll have a brief window of opportunity.
