Tailwaters are gonna be running wide open before you know it. Cumberland river comes out of east tenn. and they had up to 11in. of rain. Also from eastern ky. so the lake will be rising for days to come. With the flooding around Nashville wonder how thats gonna effect the realease scheduale? Barkley and ky. lakes are gonna swell for sure. Although they can realease 100,000+ compared to cumberlands 30,000cfs

gates are only half way open,but you can bet they'll be wide open next day or so.

I read where they closed, the flood gates in frankfort today. already had 5" and will get more tonight. a lot of water with floating logs in the lakes. after rain stops, anyone on the water, had better move slow.

Now getting concered about of the Free Floating Wood that may be on the lake due to ALL THIS RAIN. Lost one prop to the wood on Barkley last week, don't need to do that again! Not a good thing if you are out there at night. I'll just put this night fishing on hold for now and see how it all works out...
