2nd to the last photo shows the perforated pipe suspended across the bottom with a wall of bubbles running the length of the pipe.
yup! it is a lake size aeration system being run by the TVA.  Roughly 3 miles of perforated pipe in 6 branches and 2 VERY large air compressors.

according to the locals that were here when they started this years ago it's good for the fish and bad for the fishermen.  I was told they hold a lot deeper near these things to 30 plus feet.  I tried an hour of running double down riggers with no luck.  ran it from 15 to 45 feet with no luck.  but then I suppose I was just fishin and not catching.  maybe another time.
