From what I've heard is they sprayed the powerline right of ways leading to the power plant. Thought is the herbicide they used got into the lake and knocked the grass back. As far as pumping in water, I heard that since the plant is closing they are not gonna repair the pump that pumps the water from pines. It's an expensive repair for a plant that is closing. The pump is working and has been for a while now.

Well they're shutting down the PP so let's spray the freaking grass too! 😠 They are not shutting down the power plant. But the plant will start an outage on 1 unit tomorrow until Nov 5th.

I "heard" the fish weren't biting at Welsh, so it would be better to go somewhere else.

A good friend was out there and sent me a video. Dead fish everywhere from end to end of the lake. Things have clearly calmed down now and I am sure in about another month or so all of the cold weather warm lake guys will be parking down to the county road to fish Welsh.

I love it when a post/statement starts with “from what I’ve heard”. Sit back because the conjecture is about to start flying. Kinda like after 32 years in the fire service whenever someone at work said “watch this” you better drop what you’re doing and watch that. Something funny(or catastrophic) was fixing to happen.

The two things that anglers hate the most, when things change and when things stay the same...

This is correct. As with all CCP (Coal Combustion Plants), they will produce less and less as they get closer to their shut down. What that means for Welsh anglers is, the water won't be as warm because the two units won't be online as much. It makes me wonder how our state is going to adjust to the changes on how we get our electricity. Just in the last few years - Oklaunion, Fairfield, Monticello, Hugo (dialed back significantly), Martin Lake (burning 100% PRB coal now), and Pirkey (2023 shut down), with more coming means our state will rely on natural gas and wind generation more and more. Hope we don't get another Feb 2021 again like we did this year or we are in big trouble.

Our electric grid thanks to ERCOT can't keep up without the CCP
I can backlash toilet paper.
