    Default Shelbyville spring trip


    We booked a trip to Shelbyville in April (17-19). Hopefully we are not incredibly early on the beginning of the spawn? We've only been down there once last fall during the corps shutdown so we didn't get around the lake much. Helpful tips are welcomed!

    You should be fine but rain and cold fronts are a pain in April sometimes.Keep an eye on this site prior to your trip to have an idea of whats going on. I'm sure you can get alot of info before you get here.Good luck

    Any one of the fine guides on the lake will do you good. I got turkey hunting that weekend and will be looking for schrooms in the afternoon but might take the boat out for a bit to get some fish.
    Lets go soak a line. Pat

    Don Satterfield who owns our old house could point you in the right direction for fish, he guides also. You will be staying right down the road from my house.
