I was wondering if anyone could give me the scoop on the water conditions at Brookville. The water level webpage has not updated for a few days so I have no idea if they have opened the gates and started letting out water or if the lake has come up even higher? Is the debris still bad and is the water still muddy? Which ramps are the most usable? I was thinking about a trip this evening or tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
just got back about an hour ago.... got to the lake around 6 this morning running late as usual but the morning bite was great caught 1 keeper early then 4 or 5 short fish then 2 more keepers later in the day got off the lake around 12 thanks to those lovely cruisers that wana see how close they can get to you water was around 71 degrees surface temp and pretty clear in the morning but was getting kinda cloudy with all the boat traffic later in the day water is up around 7 feet we put in at the dam...id wear sandals because ur gonna get a little wet the walk ways to the docks are under so u gotta launch and board all off the face of the ramp
If you got o Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District there is a lake level chart that is updated daily sometimes more.
Thanks Chris. That is the site I was talking about. It did not update for a few days over the weekend. Seems that happens sometimes during periods of heavy rains and high water. I did get out for a club T a few days ago and the lake looked pretty good, about 3 feet above summer pool and falling fast. The fish were still on the banks and biting pretty well. Big bass was 6.5 lbs.
went sunday morning didnt do so well the lake had dropped probably 8 feet sense the weekend before so it was pretty messy but only caught four fish very early in the morning then died down didnt get to keep fishing thanks to the ever wonderful cruiser boats that decide to see how close they can get ....no courtesy:mad:

where about are you catching em i know we caught three or four when bass fishing on accident with small jigs i enjoyed catching them thinking about given it a try we were fishing the brick wall up close to the dam
The Egypt Hollow area is really producing some nice fish.
What about the stripers?

I have gradually started to fish for Walleye caught two last time I was there (fishing for bass) on a deep crank. Great catch and a great meal. I'd like start getting more educated on them. So the jigs been hot? Deep water? Do you troll much? Thanks for any tips.
Planning on hitting Brookville tomorrow and tuesday. I'll let you guys now if anything great happens.
