I spend a considerable amount of time on the river and have detailed logs of times and places and water temps and what was caught for every fish I have caught on the river for the last 6 years. During the summer the water is generally 59-63 degrees and has been that way for the last 6 years. That is usually during at least some type of generation and can occur anywhere from the dam to the confluence with the cumberland. If anything, I am seeing more 59-60 degree water this year than in the last 5 years.


My temps were 64 in the Pond last week during generation and 58 down at Lancaster. I’m not up there nowhere near as much as I used to be but have a friend who is TWRA biologist who is up there taking temps and oxygen levels very frequently. He has said that the river is warmer earlier this year already. He gave me temps and levels but I do not remember exact figures.
