Striper in the C-Land River

[troutcrazy]

Be carefule with that bass boat - fiberglass is do-able "if" you know the river. When the river is flowing high the sand bars people wade on can be barely under the water and if you don't know where they are you can get in trouble. A skeg protector like the mac river runner is highly advisable. Waters up, but from what I hear fishing is good. Consider launching at Burkesville vs the dam if you use your bass boat. I personally don't have much "luck" fishing the high water and will defer to the lake during these times.

Ditto on the bass boat. I've seen guys who think they know the river take a fiberglass boat and muck it up in a hurry because they hit a submerged boulder or run up on a gravel bar. It can get hairy in a hurry on the river. Wait until summer to put your 10 fter in when the water level is low. Monday's are the lowest days since they usually don't generate on Sunday's. 4 miles down from the dam is Helm's landing...after that you'll pull out at Winphrey's Ferry which is 13 or so miles?

Check TVA.com for reservior information
Good luck

Thanks for all the information and take out points troutcrazy.

If it ever quits raining we might be able to do some fishing somewhere.

I'll save the C-river for later on this summer and use my 10 footer.


Fish hard!
