I can speak for McNealy. In the spring, this lake is usually gin clear and choked with grass. The fish can be seen on beds ininches of water and in 5 feet of water. Easier to get to fish from boat by a long shot. The temperature range mentioned for Ky Lake is right on the money, but happens a little sooner at McNealy lake thanks to its tiny size. I woudl look for em to hit the beds mid april
