Geo is spot on with the grass and high water. Fishing down there regularly since the 80s the grass comes on during years of low flow - drought years - especially when we have dry springs. When the bass fishing went nuts in the mid-to-late 80s is when we had some years of dry conditions and there were even grass beds on Barkley - especially south of the bridge. But these last few years and all the rain the grass hasn't had a chance to get started.

I remember when the dry spell of the 80s waned and the grass started thinning out on the lakes it was rumored then that they were spraying but I don't believe they did. I heard confirm of some spraying around marinas and docks and such but not widespread on the open lake.

Man those were the days when there were vast, vast weed beds on KY. The fishery exploded and they didn't jump in the boat when you ran by...
