What's current conditions at the lake? Thinking of heading down Friday if possible. Thanks.
The lake was high over the week-end. I would say they will be shadow,until they start pulling the lake back down,then will go back to the first dropped off.

Use this link to check on the lake level. Normally updated each morning by 8:00
Louisville District Daily Lake Report
Today she is 11 feet over summer pool and they started to let some water out, Not a lot but at least it won't rise anymore until it rains again.
Good thing about Green is you can usually find some decent colored water. May have some stain, but not muddy. Best bet is up around the dam.
Have been catching crappie at Green all spring but it has been tough. Weekend before last was the best yet, things were getting ready to get good and then came more rain.
Good luck
I have just moved to Campbellsville working at the University, looking for someone to show me around the lake sometime. available
level 686 about 11 feet above summer pool. boat ramps are under water. call corp and find out which ramps are open. water is not in to bad a shape stained to murky. around 60 . i am going out in the morning for a while will give you update when i get back in
Thanks. Keep me posted.
Any luck?
At least they've opened the gates to allow about half a foot out today. The dock is not usable at Lone Valley and you have to get soaked to launch. I fished from 7:30 till about 2 and found some decent looking water on the main lake. Fish were in submerged areas normally out of the water or close to it. The wind got real bad about 11:00 and got tired of fighting it. Lots of smaller fish, I don't know where the big spawners have gone with the crazy water levels. Also, there is a big debris field about 3 miles south of the dam and working it's way down.
On a side note, all the gas stations that sell bait close to the state park had very small minnows. I am going to start buying them the night before elsewhere and bringing them to the lake with me.
I went out about 8am. went to lone valley ramp to shallow. put in at Emerald Isle, went up robinson creek muddy 56 degrees. came back out towards lone valley found females in 24 foot of water off channel. 15 keepers one was 16" long, slab baby. early bite. wind got up bite shut down. eggs getting ready i think they are waiting for some stable warm water to move up. big storm coming tonight . i will go out next time weather permitting
UCNeikirk check your PM or email.
Thanks for the info guys. Wonder if you could launch at Lone Valley Friday or Saturday?
I think I'm backing out this weekend. With more storms forecast for Friday and it taking over 2 hours to get there. Keep the post coming. I've been wanting to fish there for several years and it always seems something comes up.
went out today fishing channel around Emerald Isle, bite was early small fish, water temp 58 good color, 8 keepers. 3lb bass. anybody fishing up toward Holmes Bend.
Was at Lone Valley yesterday evening. Water was down about a foot from the day before. Only one guy launched in parking lot. Right now the ramp is at the iffy stage where the ramp meets the parking lot and the launch angle is shallow. You can launch easier with help backing your truck father in or you risk getting soaked. Dock not usable.
On a better note, the water color looked great.
