If they were spawning now during this current this would be true. But right now the water temps in Cordell and The Caney (Fed by Dale Hollow and Center Hill respectively) is not conducive for spawning at the present temps of the upper Cumberland and won't be for approx. another month. And usually by then rains would have slowed and the generation is back on schedule, (off and on). My experience is, the spawn will start mid May through early June. This is why the TWRA says 5% during spawning season which isn't usually during the 24/7 Generation season.

So for you trophy hunters who want to catch a big fish before they spawn this is your window. Now, not to say with this screwy weather and temps what this season will do and when it will do it. <'TK><
