With this rain do we get another bush bite in a couple days

No, there is always fish shalow but the majority is on the ledges
They started dropping the lake level a couple days ago in preparation for all of the rain. I would have loved to have been out there yesterday with all the current.
By the look of the high school championship results, they were biting really good!Originally Posted by artcarney_agr

From West KY Star news...
Heavy rains are forecast for much of the Tennessee Valley from tropical storm Cindy. To help minimize flooding, the Tennessee Valley Authority will be lowering some lake levels, including Kentucky Lake, to create additional water storage capacity.
“We are taking proactive steps to prepare for this coming rain event by lowering lake levels where we have the ability to create additional storage for the rain we expect to receive,” said James Everett, manager of River Forecasting Center Operations Support. “Our team will be closely tracking this system and continuously receiving up-to- the-minute information about rainfall and lake levels. This data will be used to model various scenarios and help us minimize flood damage along TVA’s entire system of dams and reservoirs.”
With Tennessee River lake levels dropping over the next few days, property owners should take appropriate measures to protect boats and other property that may be impacted by the drawdown. When TVA begins moving more water through its dams it will cause faster-than-normal river flows and excess debris. Extra caution should be taken in all river traffic and lake recreation. Reservoir levels could also rise quickly once the rainfall accumulates into the rivers, creeks and streams that flow into the reservoirs.
On Monday, TVA began to drawn down lake levels by releasing water through hydro turbines to generate electricity. If necessary, TVA will supplement turbine releases by spilling or sluicing excess water to further lower lake levels.
Lakes located on Tennessee River tributaries will remain near current levels and only minimum flows will be released. Tributary lakes may experience spikes in water levels depending on the amount of rainfall and runoff received from the storm.
TVA manages its 49 dams, including nine dams on the main stem of the Tennessee River and 10 major tributary dams, to regulate the amount of water stored behind the dams upstream to help control flooding downstream.

Any links on the high school thing?
TVA always have started the lake draw down in July, I figure they will draw it down for the extra water then raise it back up to summer pool before they start. It's a very slow release until about last of Sept.
Rodney hope you are enjoying retirement. The high school results are on bassmaster.com
Yep, starts immediately following the 4th of July, lowers 1 ft per month through Thanksgiving. I build duck blinds in late October and it's usually about 1 ft away from winter pool, but heck they don't keep it at winter pool much throughout the winter, seems like it hovers around 355 most of the time. I know last year the drawdown was accelerated for some reason, my wood duck hunting spot on the lake was dry in mid Sept whereas it normally has a couple of feet of water on it.

Thanks I found it and yes enjoying it big time.
Didnt see any local teams in it or did I miss something.
Dont think any of the local teams were in it. Dont know why
This was the National Championship. You had to qualify. If there was no local teams then that means they did not do well enough in the qualifying events.
The second place team was from Paris, Tn. Henry County High School
