High and muddy be that way for awhile we had 4" of rain yesterday and Tuesday the main lake wont be bad for a couple of days until the muddy water gets down there. The high water will make for good fishing once it clears up a little. They were really turning on before all the rain. Water level is 4' over summer pool and rising.

I fish longbow and beaver a lot I live 8 miles from the leatherwood ramp it's been pretty good this spring if you haven't been there in 5yrs you will notice the number of black crappie has really gone up. we usually catch 3 to 1 black crappie over whites the fish are also healthier than they ever been. All the white bass died out last spring and I think it has really helped the crappie. The lake is high and there are thousands of stumps just under the surface be sure and stay between the buoys when running your big engine. Take care and good luck if your up that way and you see a feller in an old bass tracker with a 90 hp mercury jerking out crappie come over and say hi.

With the lake being 6ft over Summer Pool ... it wouldn't surprise me if the Cave Run Crappie have done the same thing as a lot of the other lake's Crappie have done -- pulled out from the bank & suspending in deep water.

I fished yesterday until about noon when the wind ran me off the water. I was catching a lot of fish sallow but most were smaller males I did manage to catch 4 big females. The lake is high but it is still pretty clear. I am heading back In the morning I expect to catch them in the thickest stuff I can find close to the banks. I will be back on here tomorrow evening to let you know how it went.
