I ask because its pretty swift when Cordell Hull opens a couple gates, enough so that you can't anchor and fish generally quit biting.
I’ve fished a lot of tailrace.....Cordell Hull included. If they are not generating or have some gates open you might as well go home. I love it when the gates are open...the fish are most likely going to bite. When planning on fishing a tailrace and I check the TVA schedule, and there are no generators running, I don’t go. I have been below dams many times catching fish on every cast and they turn the generators off...the bite stops immediately. This holds true about 90 percent of the time.
