Fix'n Ta Jump

[Wiskers]

We got some water come'n! TN and CUM Rivers are gonna jump.

Presently the Ohio River is at 41' and change and forecast to go higher. When Cairo gets to 40' the COE takes over control of the flow rates at KY Dam. They ALWAYS hold water back.

This means we are fix'n to probably go over Summer Pool on KY Lake for a week or 2. Then they'll pull the plug.

Wiskers. I couldn't believe my eyes Saturday when I saw Ledbedder Creek that muddy. How long will that take to clear up. I am planning on fishing there week of April 21. Thoughts?

If they start letting it come up, it won't muddy up as bad due to the decreased flow but it will be full of trash and nice large floating objects that love lower units.

Guess we can watch another spawn go down the drain with the lake level when they drop it.

She'll be dirty for a while with the water up and the waves beat'n the mud off the banks. Baring any more major rain events she should be in good shape in plenty of time for your trip.

Don't let that muddy water scare ya! I'm tell'n ya those Whites like that dirty water! Now cold dirty water is a different story.

I'm wondering the same thing. After cancelling our trip due to the cold we are coming down to the cypress creek area on Thursday.

You guys worry too much about what you can't control. You won't catch any sitting home behind a keyboard. Get out there and have at it.

Whiskers, Do you think the shallow bite will be good for the time the water is up? Is it possible for it to get to 360-361. If it does the fishing could get good in the brush but sure would leave a lot of eggs high and dry
