Kentucky and Barkley Lake Levels ... BE WARNED

[Tim_T]

Spent last Wedneday (May 2nd) fishing around Paris Landing and south of the bridge. Watched three different boats head for a community redear hole and run across a long, extended gravel bar on this east side. All three boats ran wide open through 2 feet of water. Each time we waited to hear the sound of a lower end unit being demolished, but somehow all three made it.

We had a couple of boats that had plenty of room behind us run right in front of us and between my 2 marker bouys. I was not waiting, I was wishing the entire back half of both boats would be ripped to shreds. They made it and I could not figure out how until I picked up the bouys. I used the trolling motor and the ledge was 2-3 feet on top dropping off to 22, but right where they went was a dip where it was 6 feet on top and about 15 yards wide.

Fishing is so bad down there I spent parts of the entire month and never caught a fish.
