I just got back fishing 3 days on mid-Barkley and fishing was tough to say the least. We only caught 15-20 bass over 3 days fishing and I have never seen the water that high. We even witnessed a bass boat idle over the flooded road and into Energy lake on Monday. Un-real!!!

Drift was horrible but fortunately the wind was down until yesterday afternoon so it wasn't too bad to spot. It was bad enough in places that you had to sit it down and idle through. Water color was not bad in the bays and as Dave mentioned the few fish we found were in the backs of the creeks but with acres and acres of new flooded brush the bass were really scattered. I did manage a 6+ pound fish yesterday so at least we picked up one good one. The lake dropped noticebly yesterday so hopefully this next rain will fizzle and they can get the lakes back to reasonable levels pretty soon.
