North Barkley is muddy and there is a lot of debris at this time. However, the lakes are currently being pulled down at a rate of about 6 inches a day...this should clear the creeks pretty soon...I had a report yesterday that Barkley was clearing down south with the pull down. Now the bad news is we have a possibility of 1-3 inches of more rain over the next few days...if this happens expect more muddy water. There are bass on lead in banks and back shallow. With the pull down expect your best bite to be in the front buck brush or in front of it. My report on Thursday night will give your the patterns and lure choices.
Check your wind forecasts for Friday and Saturday...not that they have been all that accurate lately but right now the forecast is for 24mph + winds on Friday and 16 mph on Saturday....you really don't want to be out in the lake with all that debris in rollers. The plus is you are staying at Buzzard Rock and you can fish in Poplar Creek with big winds not affecting you that much.
