The water

Duck River is a warmwater tailwater below Normandy Dam in Middle TN, fished for smallmouth bass, redeye bass, trout — rainbow, brown. On dam-controlled water the generation schedule is the whole story: the wade window is the no-generation block, and rising water at the gauge means the pulse is arriving.
