Stay out of the creeks there not very good right now water quality is very bad. Level is stightly higher maybe a foot or so but that is relative to your position on the lock if your near Louisville its alot higher than at the dam. I hate to hold info but my main pattern I would like to hold to myself I hope you understand. Here is a clue current flow is important you just have to know where, to make the pattern work. Thats the best I can do hope its enough.
