IMO, the hellacious rains we had in February and the fact that apco ran three turbines for 6 weeks hurt the fishing for the whole year. The guys that spend 3-4 days a week on it still have good sticks and can figure them out. But us guys that go once or twice a week struggled. It got down right depressing spending 2-4 hours on water and not even getting a bite.

Current is never a bad thing in a river system. Patterns change and lakes go through cycles. Generating current doesn’t hurt the fishery

Current is never a bad thing in a river system. Patterns change and lakes go through cycles. Generating current doesn’t hurt the fishery I'll expound a little bit on what Drake322 is talking about.... I fish Neely very often, 3-4 times a month most of the year, and have for 15-20 years. In typical Coosa river fashion, it's a great offshore lake in the hot Summer when the current is rolling. However, those rains back in the Spring were historic, like disastrous flooding type water levels, and abnormally strong current for an extended time. It seemingly blowed the main river out, he's not kidding, you could run a mile of historically good legdes and they wouldn't even feel the same. Places that used to be gravelly were now "mushy", it's as if it changed the whole contour. And the fish were, not surprisingly, gone. Just gone. I'm sure they were somewhere, but I'm no slouch at ledge/structure fishing, and you'd fish an entire tournament day and never get one single bite offshore. Also, this all happened at the time the big spots normally spawn, and I never caught the big 3-4-5+ pound spots this year off any of the usual places. Long pea gravel, hard bottom points where you could normally drag a C-rig and get your arm broke, were just ghost towns. The grass was WAAAAYY late coming up this year, like it got washed away. I love current as much as the next guy, but think about the the top and bottom dams pushing and pulling the max amount of generation 24/7 for a month. It totally affected the main river.

Ikillbux is dead on what I have been saying since February. At lay lake the off shore places we generally catch fish in were dead this summer but when comparing this summer to the last 2 summers the current being run was dramatically less, I assume it was less on all of the coosa. Dont give up on those places next yr may be a better year for current and they may be sitting right back where they have been in the past. That's my best assessment, I had to find all new places this year and caught the crap out of them when guys who did really well the last few yrs struggled.

I am not giving up on them, just pissed the condition this river has gotten into. What I would give for them to go back to a winter draw down.

I'm starting to get mad at the rain every single weekend. Could we not possibly have it rain on Mon or Tues?
