    This time of year, I'd fish the newly flooded brush in a stillwater area. Anywhere the sun can warm the shallow water.

    I Fish in the flooded areas..5-6 ft. deep. I think the high water flushes out all the bugs and worms from the ground (previously un-flooded) The Crappie love to savor the slower moving bugs and worms..

    It looks as though southern IL and IN. are totally flooded....

    KY lake above summer pool also..

    Good Luck...
