    Pulling water out of Barkley

    Why are they pulling so much water out of Barkley still? Rain was a week ago and even stuff from the south should be good now. Saw today projected to drop 6" more. HEY it's MAY! Leave it up!!! I love 360! Full but not too much. Flipping heaven.
    I leave this Friday for Barkley. My dad and my yearly fun trip to the lakes! Can't wait! But stop dropping it!

    I thought I heard they were pulling a lot of water to flush out all the dead asian carp. I could be wrong on that, though.

    Remember, Barkley, Kentucky and otherTVA dams were built for FLOOD CONTROL. I don't think bass flipping was a consideration.
