Water conditions for OH?

[90titans89]

Anyone have a report? Thanks.

Level is dead on, 444.9' and they are pulling almost 45,000 CFS through the dam. Backs of creeks are clearing, stained to slightly muddy elsewhere. Floaters in the channel be careful.

I'm sure that once KY Lake fills up they'll raise OH by at least a couple feet.

Update for Saturday 4/30. Morning at daybreak conditions not too bad in the Cedar Creek area. By 9 AM the water was muddy and chocolate in the main river area and the debris flows in the channel were pretty extensive. Water was down a foot and falling through the morning. Be careful if you head out Sunday.

Fished OH yesterday and was suprised at how low the lake was. Fished upper end and found good water color in the creeks, water temp 66. Crappie bite was terrible but did have some nice largemouth blow up on some top waters. Don't know about you guys, but I am ready for some stable weather.

KY and Barkley are pretty well full, Old Hickory 446.25 and rising as of 6:00 am.

Is OH fishable from the bank above the dam or is it flooded? I noticed today they're pulling more water through the dam now.

It's only 1.3 ft high this morning. Easily fishable.

Today I went to the bank at Lagardo boat ramp and caught four in about
five feet of water a couple had raw tails from fanning.
