Man what a great fish and good picture too.
Your post brings back a lot of fond memories of fishing there back in the 1960's. I worked at the TVA Appachlia (sp?) powerhouse above Reliance in the Park. Many a day I fished before or after a work shift there. I mean a bunch of days. In all that fishing I only caught on large Rainbow, weighted almost 5 pounds, remember I caught it on a black leadhead jig. Some of the most enjoyable times of my life spent fishing there. I usually fished from the bank in the powerhouse discharge.
Thanks for posting and letting an old man going back down memory lane.
