Right now the lake is 220.37 with a normal depth of 216. Two gates are open at 7.67 feet, which is a huge amount of water being released from the dam. I doubt it will be back down to normal this weekend, but on it's way.

Below is a paragraph from the Kentucky telemetry study I mentioned above. You can't get better information than a fish with a radio transmitter attached.

Week of May 5-9
Heavy rain and rising water are having an impact on the lake. On Friday (May 9) the lake was muddy, 71 degrees and two feet above normal pool. The lake will rise another five feet during the weekend of May 10-11.

Radio tracking surveys performed this week shows most black and white crappie — both male and female — are hiding in shoreline bushes and shallow flooded timber. Of 21 crappie equipped with radio transmitters for this study, only one was found in deep water (15 feet). The rest of the fish were located in water less than three feet deep.
Approximately half of the study fish tracked this week remained in the same area. The remaining fish moved somewhat, but remained in the same type of habitat and water depth. Crappie are following the rising water into newly flooded cover, such as trees and bushes. Several fish have been located in shallow water between flooded tree trunks and the shore.
