Two of the Lakefront Estates residents pulled this huge catfish our of the lake the other day.  They think it weighed about 30 lbs!

I took this picture of birds on an island straight out from Lot 36.  They are ALWAYS there – so crazy.  Someone told me they might be “comorants”. 

Comorants were used by fisherman to catch larger fish, then spit them back out because of a band that was placed around their throat – yuck!!!

Here is a picture I took of the shoreline yesterday - mid January. You can see that the water level is barely down from full summer pool.  Watts Bar only drops down between 2 and 6 feet in the winter, while some other TVA lakes drop over 30 feet. We think this year-round water is one of the very best reasons to be at Lakefront Estates.
