I stayed at Kendall Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I did not, however, fish the river but talked to several that did. Basically, its great right now for boaters and bad for waders. Hatchery Creek, for instance looks like Harrods Creek. They are running two generators and likely will be until they get the lake to the desired level. The boaters seemed to be getting most of their fish during times of generation. There were the few that had been doing well on trout and whites from the bank at the bottom of the campground stairs. Pretty much there are always fish to be had near that dam one way or another. If your new to fishing that river one thing to pay close attention to is the generation schedule both current and past, and if possible make yourself aware of what the TVA plans to do based on the lake level. The latter is no guarantee but familiarizing yourself with the schedule will make the trips down there more worth it.
