Waterway Intel
Every water, and what is actually happening on it
Pool levels, dam work, access, and the structural facts that decide where fish can be. Kentucky first. Updated when conditions change, not on a content calendar.
Kentucky
9 watersRough River Lake
Held at 490 ft while the Corps rebuilds the dam. Five feet under summer pool, six to eight years.
Elkhorn Creek
Six access points, published mileages, Class II gorge. Flow-driven, not pool-driven.
Green River Lake
Corps impoundment above the Green River tailwater. No dam project found; current pool not verified here.
Nolin River Lake
Steep-sided Corps lake near Mammoth Cave. Karst country, same geology family as Rough River.
Barren River Lake
Broad southern lake with long creek arms. No dam safety project; routine maintenance only.
Lake Cumberland
The big one. Wolf Creek Dam history makes it the comparison case for Rough River.
Taylorsville Lake
Four ramps, a 15-inch largemouth minimum, and a two-foot drawdown on a published date. The closest Corps lake to Louisville.
Upper Salt River
Five access points, four float legs and one thirty-mile gap. Two low-head dams sit just below a put-in.
Ohio River
Tailwater below McAlpine plus miles of overlooked bank access. Big-water rules apply.
Get told when the water changes
Not a newsletter. Pick the waters you fish and we email you when something actually changes — a pool level moves, a ramp closes, a dam schedule shifts, flow drops into the window.
No weekly send. No digest. Nothing on a schedule. If the water is doing what it always does, you hear nothing.
