Flippin bite on barkley?

[swimjigboy]

Hey ya think they're going to be a flippin bite this year? Where's the water? I know it is suppose to be up by May 1st, but why still so low? With the the unseasonable temp early they will be done before the water gets to the bushes. What are your thoughts of better week on Barkley apr- 21-28 or 28 - 5 of may. Would the flippin bite not happen and better to just come on down? Fish are spawning early and on leadin areas and just skip bush this year so should i go on down now?

I posted this for thoughts didn't get much so went looking my self. WHERE IS THE WATER?
After days of trying finally got through to TVA and Army Corps. More than just form letter giving links to what I already had. Very nice letter explaining they are trying to bring it up but they need RAIN! In lakes area and south. There is no runoff and dry. March ended dry and apr. is dry for the time of year. So no rain no rise in lake levels. I said why can't you at least stop generating. No real reply but area below Dams need water as well(wildlife, farms, etc). They said it takes 2" of rain to make a difference lake levels.
Food for thought.
