in two weeks we have our classic out of the dandridge boat ramp.(first weekend of november)i understand the lake is about 30 feet below summer pool.i have never fished douglas in the fall of the year,only in spring of the year (may)i am being told by my club buddies that as far as you can go safely up in the river is swanns boat dock.i would like to hear from any locals if this is true.thanks for any help.
