That would make sense. Areas where the flow is constricted should have the highest flow rates in those areas.

I just don't get up to Patoka as much these days. Gas prices and other obligations have kept me away.

I'd love to retire up at Patoka Lake and live near that lake or near KY or Barkley Lakes.

I went out to a local strip pit and caught about 20 crappie yesterday afternoon. I didn't get out until after 4 pm and fished until about 7 pm. The crappie at this strip pit are not as fat as those at Patoka so I threw a lot of the little ones back. I enjoyed the day as it was my second trip this years. I may go again today but the wind is out of the North and brisk today. And it's cooler today than it was yesterday.

Getting out of the wind at Patoka? That would take a miracal or an act of god. LOL The winds at Patoka like to swirel though the hills and can come from all directions thoughout the day. But if you can get a day when the air is calm that's a great time to fish those deep water brush piles. As boat control is easy when there is no wind at all.
