	An excerpt from A Cruising Guide
		Guntersville Lake is one of the most stable of the TVA reservoirs; at the dam there is only about a 2-foot difference between normal minimum and maximum pool.
		When it was constructed, no one knew that the Guntersville Dam would be built, so when the lake was filled the TVA faced a bridge problem.
		This project would have benefited Guntersville immensely, since it was already a major river terminal where grains grown in interior America were transferred from barges to railroad cars for shipment to the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf.

	The Jig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		At just over 69,000 acres, and 65 miles from dam to dam, Lake Guntersville can be intimidating when trying to figure out patterns and locations for bass in what is considered to be among the finest bass fisheries in the Southeast.
		Increased daytime heating means more power generation through the dams to run all the air conditioning units, and the current means bass have to swim, and they have to feed to keep up energy when swimming in the currents.
		Lake Guntersville is probably one of the most diverse systems in the nation, and again one of the finest lakes to fish in the Southeast.
