I've got cabin fever bad, and I'mgetting ancy about our trout trip on Feb 2. It will be the first "real" trip with the TV18.
Lake Taneycomo in Branson has a trophy trout section up near Table Rock Dam. If the Corps is generating electriciy with wide open generators, the lake/river runs about eight feet deep. If the gates are closed, there are sections where the water is less than two feet deep. You have to know where the original river channel is to get a boat up into these trophy sections.
At one point, there is a clump of old rebar (left over from the construction of the dam) that sticks up out of the lake bed. If the water is off, it will poke out of the water. If the water is running, it will hide just beneath the surface.
Last night, after I finally went to bed, I had a dream that we were running in the channel on plane at WOT. Guess what I hit? My brand new boat with three really big holes in the bottom, stopped cold by a clump of rebar. OUCH!
I don't think I'll go up into that section if the water is running!
