Nolin or Rough

[stevec]

Haven't been to either lake since July, so I won't be of any help to you.....Sorry but no info here....I do have a tournament on Nolin tomorrow morning (Sat.). Going into it kinda in the blind except for some info out Tournament director told us about. He did say the lake was at 2' above summer pool, which is about 5 feet above what the lake was at on the 4th of Oct.

....sent you a PM

I was planning to go to Nolin this weekend too.

Yesterday I checked the level, and it was 515, summer pool, today it is reported at 517.7. The chart doesn't show that there was that big a jump, so what to believe?? And, will it continue to rise? I read about the lake, and the drainage area is over 700 miles, so I am thinking it could easily continue to rise for a day or so yet.

What's not mentioned is what is the color of the water? How many debris are in the water? I think both would be valuable information.

It could be a great fishery this weekend, or it could be one of those skunky days, right?

I would think about Nolin as it will be clearer than Rough. Rough was at winter pool due to the work on the dam, and its banks were exposed to the rain=LOTS of MUD everwhere. Nolin was only down two feet and the main lake should be ok to fish. It's creeks will have lots of color..Good luck
