Dave Stewart, Nitro, Col Forbin and a host of other good folks have been responding to KY Lake and Barkley questions all week. Scroll down thru the threads and see that Barkley is very Muddy. Its raining again today. It could change some, the level was actually going down slightly this morning. Fish have been biting on KY Lake from what I'm reading. You can always travel to KY Lake by boat or trailering from anywhere around. Watch the wind forecasts, but I'd expect the fishing to be good for you next week for bass and crappie. There are also a great full report that Dave Stewart keeps updated every week. For that we thank him a bunch.

The lake temps have really warmed upthis week. I havent been on the lake since Sun. The wind and all the rain has kept me indoors(BUMMER)....
The lake is being forcast to drop some over the next few days so that will pull some of the fish out of the real shallow water.

When i was on the lake last week the fish were biting pretty good and i would guess with the water warming up it will get better. If you fish on Barkley and dont have any luck you can always trailer to Ky its only about 15 miles from where your staying..

Keep an eye out for Dave Stewarts fishing report cause he will have all the current news about both lakes. I look forward to his reports every week... Good Luck!!!!

Fished little river once last week. Water was very muddy pretty much out to the main lake. With all the rain I would assume it hasn't cleared yet. Maybe by the time you get here it will look better. Ky Lake was very productive for us. We had several boats with the daily 12 fish limit last week. Should be a great trip with all the big girls starting to move shallow.

I would love to help, but the Marquette comment kind of got me!! LOL
I don't know if barkley will clear up much by this weekend. It is pretty muddy with a ton of debris, but it may be worth a try. I do know you are a couple of bridges away from Ken-lake and Jonathan creek on Ky (just go to the bathroom before you make the trip - that 68 bridge is skinny, and I have about crapped my pants before while trailering a boat and meeting a semi on the bridge). Ky has been pretty good for me too the past couple of weeks. It has some stain to it, but it is definitely fishable. I don't fish Barkley too much, other than the far north end. I do love the Barkley state park area. If all else fails you can drive into Cadiz and go to Ferrells for some of the best cheesburgers going.
