Know if the Caney Fork is fishable tomorrow — before you make the drive.

Every evening TVA posts the next day's generation schedule for Center Hill Dam. If they're running two generators, you don't want to be on the water. If they're off all day, you do.

TailwaterAlerts watches the schedule for you. The moment it posts — usually between 2 and 4 PM — you get an email with the full hourly breakdown so you can plan your trip.


Here's what the email looks like
