Got this from a buddy of mine.
This is Barren river lake this past weekend

I was at Taylorsville Saturday morning, just to look around and that pic could have came from there. Doesn't look safe to me at all.
I was about to post that I figured Taylorsville would look alot like that picture !!
I haven't fished Taylorsville when it looked like that, but I've spent many a time (day & night) running the gauntlet on Herrington Lake ... and the floating trash/trees was 4 or 5 times what's shown in that picture. :Doh:
I would think all KY lakes look bad, at least those in the Eastern half
I've seen trash/debris bank to bank on the upper half of Cumberland.
Which is around 18' above winter pool
Barren usually has small stuff floating in it. Can't say that I have ever found a whole tree like I have on Ky or Barkley or the ohio.
Supposed to be a cold front come through. Cold and muddy is usually no bueno.
Thanks for the photo Buffalo13, with the looks of that water, I think I should hold off a week, or at least until the cold front moves out.
Next week looks decent forecast wise. Highs in the upper 40's/low 50's and right now three straight days of sunshine. Find a calm spot and fish may move up too, unless they start pulling the lake down hard.
Don't throw the baby out with the debris water. I fished the lake today, 1/25, with the photographer that took that picture, a little murky but not too bad. We dropped a bed and fished thru several more before we finally got the STINK out of the boat. When we made it to the parking lot, we put 28 in the cooler and caught more than that which were too short to keep. We had minnows but most came vertical jigging beds. Indescribable that feeling that comes after the thump, and setting the hook, and feeling the rod load up with a fish. Thanks again for the awesome day Brad.:biggrin
