Hit the Pigeon River Bypass below Waterville Lake in Haywood County today.

Water was low and clear.

Only caught a few green sunfish on a crankbait.

No smallies? I heard this stretch is coming back to life after the pollution control.

Further downstream (near the TN border) are the smallies.

The bypass does not receive much water from the main river. That flow is pumped over the mountain right into TN at Waterville.

I used to kill the smallness in that area. After the hurricanes and floods the, big, smallies were gone.
