How it is used here

Using a electronics like this on Tennessee water

Tennessee law requires a wearable life jacket for every person on a boat or kayak, and children 12 and under must wear one. Beyond the law, the tailwaters below the TVA and Corps dams rise several feet in minutes when generation starts, and the big lakes get rough in an afternoon wind, so the safety items on each checklist are there for Tennessee’s water specifically.

Check the dam schedule before fishing below any dam; the lake levels pages on this site show each dam’s generation hours. A dry bag and a phone case keep the phone working, which is the real safety gear on a river.
