Need info on Dewey Lake

[uk_bassman]

I will be in Prestonsburg the weekend of May 9th for a graduation and I plan on pulling the sled down for a weekend of bass fishing with my Dad. Already rented a cabin over at Jenny Wiley. Question is--I have some family coming in from St. Louis and they were wondering if the fishing is generally good enough to warrant them pulling their boat all that way down?

I have never fished Dewey so any help is appreciated. I dont want anyones spots just some info on how much pressure it gets, what it takes to win tourneys, and maybe some pattern help, etc. Thanks in advance guys.

Can anyone help at all here? Anyone who knows the lake--Is it worth dragging a boat all the way from St. Louis? Thats all I need to know.

Dewey lake is listed to be great right now by game and fish. It has mussell infestation and that has cleared the water up and let the grass really grow. Some people have caught some really big fish in the last couple of years. Fish the grass, most rock and wood has so many mussells on them that it just breaks you off. Fish should be schooled on grass lines and hitting topwaters early and late and big worms in the daytime. As for pressure it depends on how fast the grass grows. For some reason when it starts to top out not as many people fish it. School will still be in and unless it is very warm it should not be to bad.
