Water Quality Profiles (July-Sept)
Dissolved oxygen and temperature profiles are taken on several East Tennessee reservoirs during July, August and September of each year. The purpose of this sampling is to determine if conditions are favorable for various game fish species and to locate any potential problems during the summer months when dissolved oxygen levels can become poor. Every attempt is made to keep this data up to date so anglers may have a better idea of where fish may be located. It may take a day or two after sampling to get the data entered and ready for posting.
