in light of recent events on the news w'Jre have checked into the schedule. they will be spilling water from the dam 24 hours a day til next Saturday. the water is not being spilled over the dam. the spillway opens upwards so the water why be drafted from about 15-20 feet below surface . they will be spilling roughly 1700 cfm down the upper . the good news is that kayaker's will have a rare opportunity to paddle a section usually not regulated water flow. IT IS DANGEROUS UP THERE EXPERT ONLY!!!!!!!!. the temperature of the water spilling is about the temp of what is coming out of the generators normally. starting at 4 p.m. till 6 a.m. every day they will be running one generator. also in the event that temp starts climbing , a generator can be running within 15 minutes . this maintenance is necessary as the intake pipe in the lake has became jammed with jogs one has recently slipped through and broke the flow doors a couple weeks ago it was the Sunday the river had to turn be off. the river will be monitored to watch temp. as of now it looks like the river will not be impacted as bad as first thought.
Reliance Fly & Tackle is located in Reliance, Tennessee is the Hiwassee's only fly shop. But it is so much more nestled in the heart of the Cherokee National Forest on the banks of the Hiwassee River. This area is home to some of the southeast Tennessee’s best trout fishing, hunting, camping, river sports and site seeing. A trip to this area is like a journey back in time. When you're looking to unwind, or get away for a day or two, this is the place to do it all.
