Dale Hollow Brown Fish

There is a response from fish and wildlife about that very thing posted at the top of the smallmouth discussion board at smalljaw. Very informative - deals with the kill, fish size, and fishing pressure.

i fished center hill in the 80s and early 90s with a close friend that put himself through college guiding on center hill. when we fished together that place was phenomenal , when i fished without him it was ok at best, i struggled. we fished the middle of winter usually on the cold nasty dark days, this was during the heyday of jigging silver buddies . pretty much before FNF and waayyy before todays high end electronics. i have often thought since then about returning to center hill in the middle of cold nasty winter with the fly and the help of the HDS, im pretty sure its going to happen THIS winter. Our best days on center hill were better than my best days ever on Dale hollow, but as i said before this was with somebody that grew up on the lake and knew it very, very well.
