Kentucky was reopened south of highway 68 this morning. They are going to reevaluate the situation on Monday.

What were the fish hitting? I'll probably go in a day or two.

Yep, typical Western KY weather. As they say, if you don't like it, give it an hour and it'll change.................usually for the worse. :shock:

Ky Lake is now open from Little Bear south.

Barkley is still closed.
