"dead heads @ Lomg Bow"

nope, not me & papa Joe, this post was on the KyAngling site and I thought I'd copy it here, maybe it will help avoid an accident:
Dead Heads
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot to add on my first post, for those of you using Long Bow Marina to put in, on the 4th or 5th set of marker cans (green and red) there are 5 dead heads right in the middle of the path. The first green can on your right without the matching red on your left is where they are. BE VERY CAREFUL! I'll try to explain this again, from Long Bow on your way out to the main lake, the first green can where there is not a matching red can across from it is where they are. Hope this helps!

Just got back from the Cave. Trust me, you want to keep your eyes out as you run from the Long Bow ramp. One of the guys in our group hit one of the slightly submerged trees head on. Luckily, he was in an all welded boat, but it definitely shook him up. The green markers are definitely off!! If the water come up a little, look out!!

I think the Musky First outing is coming up. You should hit it perfect. We had snow, wind and low water temps till the end of the week. Water temp was up to the upper 40's by the time we left. Got one very fat 43.5" fish on a Hellhound in some falling timber and our group ended with about 9 legal fish in the boat. Fish were very shallow and most action came on rattle baits or gliders.

Tony Grant runs a great operation and Scott, Charlie Thompson and Tony worked their butts off for our group.

Please excuse my poor, one-handed typing. Recovery from my wrist surgery is going well. I got this info from Kyangling's site about Cave Run, I'm glad Dave posted it here, too. I dunno who is responsible for upkeep on the channel markers, but it sounds like a little extra caution and a little less speed (look who's talkin!) is in order around the upper reaches of Beaver Creek. Good luck this week you guys! m
