Ky lake water conditions?

Not sure what the roads on the LBL down the ramps look like...lots of trees came down here in the storm...good idea about Fenton Ramp...would not hit the back country ramps right now unless you have proof positive word the roads there are open.

I went to KY Lake yesterday. It was the weirdest thing...when driving there I noticed that once you got within about a 1/2 mile from the lake (east side) it appeared that hardly a tree had been scratched by the ice storm. It appeared to be this way from the 68 bridge all the way to Blockhouse. The only thing I could figure is that the wind was blowing from the west to the east during the ice storm and picked up the "warmth" of the lake which warmed the area around that part of LBL enough to keep the ice to a minimum. Of course, I could be 100% wrong. LOL

Anyway, like Dave said, please don't abandon those business owners over by the lakes. It's getting close to their money-making time of year and they need your support.

My partner and I noticed the same, no damage around lake on north east side. Thought there might be a ton of new laydowns. Not so. We only had 2 short fish. Water stained @ 42-43 degrees.

Yes, very strange. All the way from Barkley bridge to the bridge over the Trace it was pure destruction and then, 1/2 mile from the ramp there was nothing.
