And the smell from down near the lower end comes from a oil well that has been leaking for 40 years. If you look at google earth and go back through the years you can actually see the sheen from the oil and where it originates. Has not bothered the fish or the fishing except it put a coating of oil on your line and boat.
    You are right, the 158 fish that died want even make a dent or even if it were 1058 fish would not either. It just seem to me like a lot of fish but I read of a survey that was done back in 2001 and just on Dale Hollow along there were 106,228 caught and out of those 12, 227 were kept. Now that is a lot of fish. I don`t know why I can`t catch more then I do.

    It moves with the wind. No fish down there anyway! Everyone stay away from the lower end.
