Note the scale in the bottom left corner. Restricted looks like it will be 500 feet.

Example of markers to be used shown.

Funny thing, one blue fishing access marker shows right at the restricted area limit. I know, that means from the sure, just looks funny.

Is McAlpine going to be effected the same way, under Louisville COE directions?

Last question: Can anyone find on the COE Nashville or Louisville pages an explanation of the warning signals/horns etc the dam/lock uses to tell fisherman they are about to start discharging rough water? I couldn't.
I found this nice quote:
Vessel operators should also heed
the warning sirens which indicate that project personnel will be
increasing flow from the dam or releasing water within the lock
discharge areas. These sirens will be operated for a period of 30
seconds, after which, there will be a 3-minute delay prior to a
release of water.

Found in the Ohio River Navigation Charts, http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/optm/a...&MyCategory=41
on page 4.

30 seconds warning siren, then only 3 minutes till trouble. Is that time to retrieve an anchor? Is that enough time to start and engine, maybe if it takes 2 or 3 tries, and still get away. What if the motor don't start? Does that give you enough time to signal for and get help?
