I can say that the last week of February we fished a tourney (small club) and we were literally culling 3 pounders. It was the first time on the lake, 2nd day of fishing and we figured them out. I was highly impressed by the lake and I sat down with a map after the first day (1 keeper 0 short fish) and used what I know about KY Lake and applied it to there and it worked like a charm. and trust me 2 hours of map study is tough on me but once I put all the peices in place it was on!!!! I will go back when the grass is green or in the fall, I will in no way say the lake is overrated until I get to fish it in the prime times...... I take early spring fishing with a grain of salt
