      I was just reading that the turbines will be shut down for maintenance and repair. They will be running water over the top spillway with two gates open. I guess this is a good thing because a lot of people are excited. Something about shad being washed over the spillway and tuning the trout on.

      Just returned from Lake Taneycomo trip #1.  Even with the generators off they still had flow on Taneycomo as they opened up two flood gates to release water.  We were able to wade fish but the flow was fast at around 3500cfs and a lake elevation of 706 ft.  And yes, two days after the generator shutdown and the spillways opened, we did see lots of dead shad along the shoreline. Interesting to see if that will “fatten” up the fish at all.  We tried white shad looking patterns but no takers.
