Lake Cumberland back to 700

[floatman]

this used to happen every year, the lake would go down to 680 or 685 or so and spring would com and the lake would get up in the trees, and summer pool is 724 I think, so up and down is not new, holding at 680 is JMO

Summer pool is 723 and yea it gets flooded every spring, no doubt, been fishing Cumberland for many years. Here's the issue. They, THE CORP freak completely out eveytime the lake spikes now, and some with good reason. In the past with no Dam issues they would draw the lake sometime aggressively but not over the top usually. Now when it floods they open up everything they can within reason not to flood downstream but close to it get the water back down. This means opening the sluice gates and dumping all the very cold heavily oygenated water OUT of the lake. This has and WILL continue to hurt the fishery as the Stripes an Eyes can not take the stress and die. The sluice gates are on the bottom, dumping the good cool good O2 water out.

Guys don't down play this it's not the sky is falling scenario yet but it's alot more serious then some of you are making it sound. Research it and see if I'm not right??
