I live close To Taylorsville but have never had much luck there. I like to spider rig drift or troll and I dont think that Taylorsville is a good lake for that type of fishing.

you are correct in your assumption that Taylorsville is not a "prime" lake for spider rigging. I've fished it since it opened, and can tell you that the Crappie are "Very" wood oriented there. But, by the same token, you could use one of your long poles to vertical jig the timber - and probably catch some decent fish. I mainly cast jigs to the wood, so the spider rigging method is way down the list of my methods used. Besides - dragging jigs around, in open water at Taylorsville, is going to get you more Hybrid Striper/White Bass hits ... than Crappie !! :D
Have you fished Green River Lake much this year ? I used to fish there quite often ... and caught some real nice Slabs from there. It's one of the few lakes I've fished, where trolling has paid off almost as well as casting. GRL is pretty cyclic in its size & number production ... several years of small fish, then a year of Slabs, then back to small fish. If this is the "year of the slabs" - please give me a hollar ... luck2ya ....cp

I would think that the water is up and there is a lot of trash in the lake after all the rain. I am hoping to make a trip to Ky. Lake this weekend if all goes well with work this week.

Anytime you want to know what the current water "levels" are at these two lakes (and others) - look here:
http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/wc/reports/lkreport.html
You will also find - Barren, Rough, Nolin, Cave Run, and other watersheds. Click on the name of the lake/river (under the heading - Project) for a web page about those waters. Click on the "Today's Pool" number, of that body of water, and it will show you a chart - showing the last 15 months of the rise and fall of the water levels of that body of water.
Good info to help you determine what the current conditions of the lakes are ... as it pertains to water levels. .............cp
