Fishing Report


Kentucky Lake 2/19/25

Unstable conditions have dominated the fishing scene since last week's flooding roared down the Tennessee River. A rapid rise sent the lake's elevation jumping above summer pool (359) but already the reservoir has crested and began its descent. TVA has been pushing a large volume of water through Kentucky Dam again this week. Strong current has been present in main channel areas and even behind islands. Added to the mess came a dramatic temp change and snow flurries. While warmer days are in next week's forecast anglers are dealing with instability as the region mops up from the mess and struggles to dry out. Crappie are likely to rebound soon as temps rise amid falling lake levels.
