Found the same thing going on at Taylorsville. 5 keeper Crappie caught last Sat, and every one of them were females w/eggs (dusty yellow to corn meal yellow in color). The amazing part was that these fish were Black Crappie !! They should have spawned over a month ago ... and Taylorsville only went ~5ft over Summer Pool, this year (Apr-May), unlike the flood conditions of years past, so they shouldn't have had any reason to not have already spawned .... unless the yo-yo weather/temps has kept them off the banks. Very curious, indeed !!

According to this chart Taylorsville Lake Water Level Taylorsville Lake has flooded about every other year, for the past 4-5 years, either in April or May.
Here's the chart readings for Barren River Lake : Barren River Lake Water Level for comparison. (though, it might be a differing reason for the fish "below the dam" )
