Thanks, I'll keep all of that in mind. Do you by chance know what the water depth in that area is?

the water depth will vary depending on the amount of water being generated , no generation and the water could be a foot deep with zero flow, or it could be 15 feet deep with very very swift flow.
use caution walking on the rocks around the wall , they can be slicker than snot at times.

^^ What Stripernut said!! Typically I won't fish unless they are generating with at least one gate. I like it best with 2 or more. With 2 going you are looking at 10-12 feet typically.

If they are not generating red worms, night crawlers or wax worms work well in the deeper pools you can find, and about anywhere if they are generating,

Here is a link to tell you when and how many generators, The time is apprpximate and can change at any time. So dont walk out too far the water comes up quick.

I have a lake Cumberland trip planned for this Thursday - Sunday. Main goal is to put some Striper on the boat. Was wondering how all this rain has impacted water conditions near the dam. Also any tips on catching bait right now would be appreciated.
