Melton Hill/Clinch River?

[ghosthunter]

Does the clinch river below Norris Dam flow into Melton Hill Res. or is there a dam in between somewhere? If there isn't a dam does that mean I need to abide by Melton Hill regs if by chance I catch a striper I'd like to keep?

If they are in the Clinch above 61 bridge kill them for me would ya!

It's Norris Dam -> Clinch River -> Melton Hill Lake -> MH Dam ->Watts Barr and so on and so on.

That little dam is just a weir dam that holds water back to keep a minimal flow going when they are not generating. Not really a dam, more like an obstruction with baffles for oxygen.

Kill every rockfish you can in the Clinch for me please.

Trout, it's what's for bait. Nothing like some rainbow gizzards to catch a big striper.

Would love to see somebody do a "Shock and Awe" on those stripers in the Clinch.
