RIVER CONDITIONS 5/13/09 5:50 AM LITTER. PICK IT UP. VERY SIMPLE.

THE RIVER LEVEL THIS MORNING IS 580 FEET 6 INCHES ABOVE SEA LEVEL. DOWN 6 INCHES FROM YESTERDAY MORNING. THE WATER TEMP. THIS MORNING WAS AT 61.2 DEGREES. UP .5 DEGREES FROM YESTERDAY. THE WATER CLARITY IS POOR AT THREE TO FOUR INCHES. CROSSING TO BLUEGRASS IS SAFE . WADING OVER TO BLUEGRASS ISLAND CAN BE DONE AT 582 AND LOWER.

FISHING REPORT 5/13/09

FISHING STARTED OFF SLOW YESTERDAY. AND THEN PICKED UP AS THE WATER WARMED UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WHAT WE NEED IS A GOOD WARMING TREND IN THE 70'S TO GET THIS WHITE BASS RUN REALLY GOING. THERE HAS BEEN TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS WHEN THE FISHING WAS EXCELLENT, BUT IT CAN GET MUCH BETTER. I DON'T BELIEVE ALL THE WHITE BASS HAVE MADE THE RUN UP RIVER YET EITHER. IT'S BEEN COOLER THEN NORMAL AND I THINK THAT HAS SLOWED THINGS A LITTLE. THE WATER LEVEL HAS BEEN HIGHER THEN NORMAL TOO. IT'S NOT SO HIGH THAT YOU CAN'T WADE OVER TO BLUEGRASS ISLAND, BUT THERE ARE ROCK BARS THAT ARE NORMALLY HIGH AND DRY BY NOW. AND THAT FOOT OR TWO OF WATER LEVEL IS KEEPING US FROM WADING OUT FURTHER IN THE RIVER TO THOSE ROCK BARS. FISHING PRESSURE IS LIGHT. I'M SEENING FEWER WALLEYES THE LAST FEW DAYS. IT WOULD HELP FISHING FOR BOTH WHITE BASS AND WALLEYES IF THIS WATER WOULD CLEAR UP.

Thanks for the report papafish biggrin
