What's going on, on Barkley and Ky lake?

[swimjigboy]

I just rode over to Barkley and Ky dams this evening. Both dams are sucking hard. Barkley has five tainter gates open and Ky has 13 spilling.

I'm a pan fisherman and I can tell you they jerked the bluegill and redear off of the shores with this latest **** down. I believe they sucked it down two feet in 24 hours, at least that's what I heard. I can't stand it, I'd rather see a lake on the rise or flooded.

EXACTLY! Arise and flooded over 4' down. Will not waste my time. If I want to throw a spinning rod and lite line I will go to St. Clair. I wait all year dreaming of flooded brush and flowers!!!! And they pulled the plug for rain that didn't fall. And still dropping it to a flooded Miss. Don't understand. Two guys died from getting to close to the open gates way up stream! And so far they never had to open them. So sorry to hear this.
