Awesome.

I live in N.KY so Fishtrap is a long way from me but for the 2nd or 3rd year in a row now, they have rated crappie fishing very high for the lake, talking about the high quantity of good size crappie there.

It has me tempted to make a weekend trip down there to try it out. Is it a lake with a lot of cover?

mbk

What cover there is would be the laydowns and brush piles. This time of year is the best time to fish it while it's at winter pool. Once they start filling for summer pool,there is so much trash floating hard to fish. This is the main river that goes in Virginia and like I said get's very trashy

Thanks. And when I say 'they' have rated it high for crappie, I meant the KY Fish and Wildlife in their yearly fishing forecast. They mention good numbers of 12"+ fish and I'd say from your pic that's true. I've heard about it being trashy. Are we talking debris you've typically find in a river that is high or actual refuse? :(

He means trash as in garbage! it looks like a trash land fill from all the garbage plus logs floating!
