Took an annual trip with some great friends over the weekend and about all I can report that is positive is that the company was good! We caught a few trout and the quality was nice but the overall population is down (way down compared to last year) right now. I have to say, I know the supplemental sluicing is supposed to be good for the river but when it's a such a high volume with 2 or more generators it give the fish very few places to escape. The pond becomes a raging river, I scanned it really good after they cut the sluicing down to 250cfs and there was virtually nothing holding there. Usually there are schools of bait fish and game fish but nothing. The water coming from the sluicing also has a distinct odor which is probably harmless but reminds me of fishing near the water treatment plant on the Cumberland. On a side note, give Timberloft and Bellacinos a try at the Carthage Exit both really good food with nice owners.
