IMO the later the better for higher water. But I like bushes and flowers in Barkley. We always go 1st wk of May but if I went earlier I would probably go more south. Follow the boards and reports to aid in following the fish. All creeks are not created equal but move til ya find fish, which may be a lot because the Northern region can get really crowded. But I have heard Ky lake south is also crowded now with the return of the weeds and pros being down there so much with B.A.S.S., KVD etc.
WAtch conditions, follow and study for reports and Good luck!
