Cave Run Lake fishing report — KDFWR — Aug. 20

August 20, 2009 by admin 

Lake level: 730.20
Lake temperature: 84 degrees F

The main lake remains murky and the water level is stable at 2-inches above summer pool. Muskie anglers are still reporting catching muskie; however, fishing has been much slower than last week.  Muskie are being caught at depths around 15 feet near weed beds.  Largemouth bass fishing appears to be not as slow as it has been last week as bass anglers are reporting decent catches of fish in and above the slot limit.  Cave Run Lake has a 13-16 inch protective slot limit which means anglers can not keep largemouth bass in this size range but may harvest largemouth bass above 16 inches and below 13 inches.  Largemouth bass are being caught on plastics near weed beds in the late evening or during night.  Anglers are continuing to catch some nice crappie during the day at depths around 15 to 20 feet on minnows and jigs.
