Cumberland Plateau

[TNBronzeback]

Heading east this weekend to see some family up on the plateau. chances are the lakes up there will be frozen just enough to stop a boat from being used but not enough to walk on, but i might make a trip down to the Kingston Steamplant and take some casts from shore.
Since they had the coal ash disaster a few years ago, does anybody know if they are discharging warm water there again?
before all that mess i had some phenomonal nights in the discharge canal on the stripers, but i cant get a definative answer as to whether its back up to full operation or if they are still limping along or if they have since upgraded thier system.
Anybody have any knowledge about this?

Yes, I have fished it a few times in the last year when I had business over in Knoxville. It is open.

Cool! thanks Jim.
Im sure at the very least, if they are putting any warm water out, the skippies and smallmouth should be floating around.
