    Dock

    I do not know exactly when the dock is dry, but they normally stop at 528 for winter pool. The dock is dry for a little while before reaching that level. Barren is currently at 542 so it has a ways to go.

    On the Ky Afield call in show back in the spring they talked like eight of the native walleye stocked in the river had shown up below the dam. I'm assuming that means that they are not coming from Green river and that maybe the walleye are dispersing in the lake.

    Last year i think someone (babyhuey?) caught a good one around state park. Anyway, i'd have to try for them if i were able to access the upper arm of the lake at drawdown, native walleye are always a trophy!

    we float the river 10 times or so every spring and catch a lot of striped bass and LM. we put in either at walnut hill road or hwy 100 bridge. i would suggest not going any futher down than the bend at walnut hill rd. the water gets to dead and to much paddling for me. good luck if u get to go. someone that was with us did catch one 14in walleye there last year
