WINTER ANGLERS ENJOY PRETTY WEATHER
Winter fishing has been good this past week for anglers, as cabin
fever has been treated with a big dose of nice weather and pleasant
outings at the lake.
Calm winds and above average temperatures have been in favor of
crappie and bass fishermen who have taken advantage of the conditions.
This past week there were a lot of boats on the lake, most of which were
stalking the deep confines of Kentucky Lake for some of those Christmas
crappie.
Several fish are relating to the deep sides of main lake ledges in
such depths as 18 to 25 feet. Most anglers are tight lining jigs and
minnows with some using a combo presentation.
Crappie will often hold on the deep sides of drop-offs this time of
year, especially where those stumps and brush areas are found.
The shad seek the deep confines and the crappie are right there with
them.
Kentucky Lake has been falling slowly this week after resting almost
a foot above the winter pool mark last week. Elevation in the Paris
Landing area is around the 354.7 mark.
Additional rain is predicted this weekend so watch for lake levels
to rise some next week, depending on the amount of rainfall.
Watercolor is clear in the main lake and surface temperatures have
been in the 40 to 44 degree range.
Pick your days when the winds are calm and you can have some good
winter fishing.
