Thank you so much for the info. I'll report back.. I'll be bummed if I don't catch a single fish in a few days (love to catch cats too), but it's also about the adventure. The only thing about really muddy high water is that some of the new and different tactics (to me) Ive been planning might have to change, but who knows, it might increase my luck anyway.

Ihanks too Riverrat12 for the Dale Hollow suggestion. It's definitely on the list of 2.


I hope the rains don't get too bad for everyone. I was scraping snow and ice off the windshield in 20 degrees this morning and can't wait to visit.
