They changed it in a matter of hours. With another big rain event on Sunday night, might get interesting around the middle or end of next week.

Here we go again with more rain! Looking like Louisville will hit flood stage next week at this rate...

At least it is not snow.

Holy smokes! That's some high water in the forecast! 28 ft in Louisville?!?! There are already sections of River Road closed downtown...

I am looking forward to bank fishing from Zorn ave. The bass move up into the parking lots to spawn.

At Cunningham's this weekend, you'll be able to sit at the bar and flip for bass out of the beer fridge....and I mean the upper bar, not the lower...there's already catfish bellied up to that lower one!

Yeah, or the Captain's Quarters bar area, hehe. You could probably jig from the 71 overpasses here soon if the rain doesn't stop. Just put the emergency flashers on and pull out the flippin stick.

I might just try that. The Harrod's Creek bridge is a little bit better spot though
