Buckhorn Lake and its tailwater sit nestled among the foothills of the Appalachians, where anglers come to fish for bass, crappie, and muskie. This 1,230-acre body of water sits in the eastern-central area of Kentucky. Monster muskies and some aggressive bass catches put this fishing spot on the map. You’ll find many great opportunities for fishing along the 60-mile shoreline. Those fishing by boat can access the lake at one of the several public boat ramps. You’ll find some hefty, 30-40-inch muskies in the tailwater. The best time head to the lake or tailwater to pursue these fish is from February to March. Don’t pass up this fine fishing destination!
