I had no idea Alabama Power was undertaking a project like this. Kudos to them! Apparently somebody there does care about the fishing.<br />It looks like it's gonna be pretty great, but some of the deeper holes still look like they might be difficult to wade. Hopefully they'll still be fishable.<br />I imagine these improvements will also have a major impact on improving the macroinvertebrate community and preventing some of that "scouring" that I have mentioned previously.<br />Keep us posted.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288928187563951613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-88711886731878751562012-12-10T18:05:02.578-05:002012-12-10T18:05:02.578-05:00Hi Mel

They said today they are running behind on the improvements and it may be the middle of January. If it is really cold I may not get back on the water until February.

It looks like AL Power does care about the angling community after all. I had no idea they were taking on such an improvement project. I would bet this will greatly improve the stream macroinvertebrate communities as well. It also looks like some of those areas will still need to be pretty low water to wade. Deep holes are great for fish, but nor so much for the wade fisherman. I'm very much looking forward to the future of our new home trout water.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288928187563951613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-4457120046494274952012-12-10T15:22:41.904-05:002012-12-10T15:22:41.904-05:00Hi, Bill, I applaud all the great work being done ...Hi, Bill, I applaud all the great work being done by the folks to manage the river and make it a rewarding trout stream.

The water temps stays a constant 58 to 62 degrees for at least 10 miles down the tailrace. The area that is being worked on is close to the dam. Alabama Power Company has spent over 3 million dollars on access points and stream improvement over the past year. This is only the beginning of the project; the remaining 9 miles of the tailrace will be finished in the coming years. The place will resemble a stream out West when it is finished. 3000 rainbow are released each month in the waters below the dam. The goal is to add browns and brook trout in a year or two.
