We were heading down two weeks from today. Are we screwed or is there hope that we may still get into some fish? We are heading to your neck of the woods, shawnee bay, moors area.

I think yall'll be ok. Looks like the lower Tn. river valley ain't get'n as much rain as we are here. Most of the extra water is coming from the Cumberland & the Duck river. Most of the pools above Pickwick are syill in ok shape.

The problem you may run into is a fast falling lake. Never a good thing! With the water temps where they are, stained to muddy water, & a rising pool there are gonna be some fish go shallow. Iff the lake starts to fall the fish will back out & suspend shallow over deeper water to get a little water under their belly. If they're 2' deep in 5' of water they may move scatter & move out 2/5' deep oner 10/12' of water. You'll just have to look for'um. Try fish'n brush high, good time to long line & spider rig. Watch the gulls! They tell ya where the bait fish are. Thats a good place to start lookn.

Between all us on here we'll figure them out. Thumbs Up I think sixfin & buffalo can smell'um. We'll just tie a rope to their boat! :D

Well,,here in Indiana,,they are forcasting above normal precipitation for the next 30 days, and all of our lakes are normal if not way above normal as they are holding, and if I look at the forcasts,,our rivers are to peak next Thurs,,however,,more rain coming in next Wed nite again,,this La Nina is kicking some butt this year so its going to be a wetter than normal spring if not one of the wettest in a long time.

They opened Barkley a little this afternoon. Rainfall somewhere must have been less than expected. We are all but flooded here around the White River, but it seems like the rain is over for a spell.

They've pulled the plug a little. Kentucky is spilling about 125,000cfs and Barkley about 76,000cfs.

A levee broke up here, so some of our rain is filling up a cornfield instead of heading for the Ohio.

Looks like they are trying to hold below 358 for another couple of days. Kentucky is spilling better than 155,000cfs now but they are planning to let it go up toward 359 Wednesday.
