than most lakes out there, and not as good as a lot of others.
I catch a lot of crappie at Taylorsville, I just have to work
harder at it than other lakes.
When it gets tough in the summer, I can always still get them at Green River.
I guess "Good" is a relative term.
To me, I would rate it as "fair"
I seriously doubt Taylorsville has the capacity to produce many Crappie in the 3lb range. It's too small & heavily fished for its size.
2lb Crappie have been taken from there, but I'd be happy if it continues to produce 1+lb Crappie.
No way Taylorsville can be compared to Ky Lake ... in any regard.

Even the 61,000 stocked fish, that you referenced, will have to survive another 2-4yrs before they're going to become a factor in the population. IMHO

I wouldn't rate it as low as "fair", unless you're talking big fish potential (>12") ... and I'm not yet ready to rate it as "good" (for overall size/numbers) ... but, it does seem to be improving.
