Cheatham Lake / Cumberland River

[NumberOne]

Anyone fished Cheatham Lake / Cumberland River lately? Looking to possibly put in at Ashland City tomorrow with the winds we are suppose to have. If so, what are the water conditions? Water color/level/current? TVA website is saying elevation is at 384.50 with 20k in current. Current seems pretty low for this time of year but I have never fished it this time of year. I am not sure what is summer and winter pool on the lake and the website doesn't give an operating guide like it does for most lakes.

For Cheatham and OHL to only be separated by a concrete wall, they fish like total opposites. I worked in Ashland city for 4 years and I decided I would get good on Cheatham… and I decided incorrectly

Yea. You almost have to think backwards on cheatham.
