| Five day forecast from Lexington looks like 78 degrees for Thursday, following a more tolerable 70 degrees for Wednesday the 12th.
Obviously the danger of thermal shock for northerners will be at a high level. Bring a short sleeved shirt, sun block, and hydrating fluids.
It will be a tough job, but...as you know....somebody has to do it!!!!!

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | FSF,
I felt rite at home on Friday afternoon at Green River with the Rain, Hail, Wind and tornado's.
Saturday was wet, windy and cold with cold temps. Saturday night into Sunday morning was just like Wisconsin. Low 30's and windy.
Shorts and liquids were replaced with lots of cloth and wind burn.
Water temps went from 65 early in the week to under 50 by the time we left Green River. Not the best weekend to go south. The Cave was slow also I would bet. I looked for those 70's all weekend but they must have blown away with the wind and tornados that ripped through Friday as we just got into Green River.
Better luck next time I guess. | |

| LOL, that is the spring fishing in KY that I know and love. Unstable and dynamic, just to mention a couple of the printable descriptive terms I often use for it. I also see there was a rain event of over 1" on all the lakes I commonly fish in the spring down here. Hope you caught some fish, would have been happy to take you out had I known you were coming, you still could have made a run over to Cumberland and done some night bank casting for stripers too. PM me next time.
Yahoo weather for Cave Run now looks like:
http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USKY1167.html
actually looks very good with fairly stable water and warming temps and cloud cover, geez, might have to get up there and fish it myself if I am in state!

to get the daily lake report, scroll down to technical reports, click on it, scroll down to "daily lake report", click on it, then scroll down to Cave Run, and scroll over to todays water level, and when you click on that it will give you two separate graphs with 4 good data lines
you can check your planned lake level curve(for filling and emptying planned depths)
you can see the current level in relationship to the filling curve(if you have gone way above the line, expect pending water draw)
you can see the outflow levels(important, ideally they are under 400 for Cave, if they are over 1,000 cubes, and lake is falling, you might need to adjust your fishing positions to take advantage of the current and draw)
look at the top of the graph and you can see your precipitation events, ideally these stay at 1/2" per week or so, if you look at the recent bars, you see 4 straight days of rain, with 3 of those over 1/2", this is a steep watershed, so rapid rainfall in one event or repeated rains after saturation can cause some big inflows.
they are doing some heavy duty sucking on that lake right now, trying to get back to their normal curve, actually got over summer pool yesterday, but that can settle by mid week to a more normal flow.
