We have our annual trip booked for march 24-27, we have never been this early. If the weather channel is right looks like we might hit it just right for the black crappie. Do you all believe the water levels will be ok?

My trip is scheduled the 23rd thru 26th I've never been to KY Lake before. I expect high water I hope its not dropping during that time. It is showing a cold fron on the 24th coming in a 20 degree swing could be very bad.
I'd expect high water.
They will continue to draw down the lakes until April 15. I have seen them many times draw it down all the way to winter pool 1 week before April 15 and the turn right around and let it go back up. TVA considers our lakes as flood control only.Just got to figure out the pattern for the temp. and get on with it. Frustrating to watch a good spawn ruined because they yank the water around so much! Having fun and enjoying mother nature is my plan most of the time.
To the best of my knowledge, April 1 is when TVA starts raising to summer pool Buddy. But they will dump it to re-fill it. If it is at 356 on April 1 they'll pull her down to well below 355 & then start back up. That's just the way they operate.Quote:

Remember what wiskers said a couple of days ago, the fish don't stop biting, they just moveThumbs Up
