Floating the caney

[Carlos Viagra]

I think most of them will do 1 generator but those floats are also mainly in the Summer. You can still be in trouble if you spend too much time in that water in August in the event of flipping a yak but it's not near as dangerous as Winter time. That's the only reason I suggested to not do it this time of year with any generators running.

Good point.

The only downside to that is giving them a seat at the table, so to say. If they start paying as much as we, hunters and anglers do, then they'll make the argument that they should be able to have 500 kayaks float the Caney every day and tear up the WMAs with their side by sides.

I like having the leg to stand on that we pay the most into the system so our use should be prioritized. TWRA should step in and have some sort of cutoff for the Caney so that the anglers who fund the trout stocking can have some times to fish in peace.

The river is controlled by the Army Corp of Engineers. TWRA has zero say on how the river is used.

TWRA needs to require kayaks to be registered the same as other boats to offset the cost of monitoring users.

I agree 100%.

Unfortunately, that will require a law change that TWRA hasn't been able to get through the legislature. The "paddle lobby" is pretty strong, and they fight it every time it comes up.

Gonna be fun, for just a minute, if you hook a trout and a striper grabs it....

seen stripers hammer rising trout below the dam, never caught one like that. my biggest streamers aren't big enough to work either...

I recommend the TVA lake info app. Click on center hill and it will show you their generator schedules. I use it for Normandy anytime I'm going to float the duck. I personally like to float 300cfs or below.
