I had no luck, below the dam the water was really high and the current was too fast. I went to the main lake and tried but the waster was low and I'm not sure if where I was had any fish around. I have a deeper fish finder but I didn't use it as it would have required me to carry an extra rod. I ended going to Normandy damn and catching 2 nice rainbows on a lucky craft pointer 65 in American shad. I'll have to do more research on tims ford on where the best bank fishing is.
I fished Normandy last Thursday above the dam and the water was really moving down below. Good job catching some fish in it. I live about 30 minutes away from the dam so I think once the water goes down I will wear it out.
They are releasing 800 cfs at Normandy, to fish below the dam ideally you want 300 to 200 cfs, they are very close to winter pool, so if we do not get a lot of rain it should be there in a couple of weeks
When I lived a touch south of Nashville I would frequent Normandy...I have caught so many walleye and rainbow below the dam it's stupid. I seldom left fishing the lake without stopping at the dam to cap off my catch.That little dam produces fish like crazy for a bank fisher.
