Estimate now is by the first of next week,summer pool,however as stated earlier it will have been changed somewhat,that favorite laydown gone an underwater bar gone.
And new ones unknown are in place,one just cant contemplate how powergull mother nature is,one 18 ft deep area I knew two years ago had a bar appear and come up to 2 ft,while out of teh channel it often had boaters in a direct line with it on plane,as coming out of another cove at an angle.Last years high water moved it somewhere,possibly with a log now on it.
Bottom line is be carefull,just because you used to run 60 mph down a back channel doesnt mean you can do it now,many of those secondary channels are but 20 ft wide.Like behind the islands.
What this high water has done otherwise is yet to been sen ,it usually has an adverse effect on grass,making it less and later than normal.

The vast majority of Kentucky Lake is once again opened for recreational and commercial boating. The last I heard, only the extreme end of the lake, near the dam is still closed off to boaters.
But that doesn't mean that Kentucky Lake is safe to run willy-nilly anywhere. The swift currents have moved snags, relocated sandbars, and there's floating stuff everywhere that's just waiting to open up a hull or tear up a prop/lower unit.
So while you CAN go out on the lake, be careful out there!

Whew! With a maximum fine of $32,500, I don't think I'll be out on the lake until I read an official "All Clear" for Kentucky Lake!

The Tennessee River has been closed to recreational boaters from Paducah, Ky., to the Alabama border because of record high water levels and excessive river drift.
The U.S. Coast Guard said that no recreational vessels are allowed from the mouth of the Tennessee to Pickwick Landing, Tenn., a stretch of 206 miles.
Commercial vessels are still allowed to transit the river, but they should exercise caution and maintain a minimum safe speed to minimize the impact of wakes on moored boats and at-risk infrastructure, the Coast Guard said.
I just thought that many of the readers would like to know this information.
