At Kentucky Lake, you’ll find some of the best freshwater fishing in the country. The waters of this lake are home to a large population of largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, redear sunfish, sauger, yellow bass, and white bass. Most local anglers who stop by Kentucky Lake are hoping to catch the quality bass and crappie that thrive here. Head out in the later winter and early spring for your best chances of catching a crappie or bass. The rest of the fish population is active throughout the year and can be caught all over the lake. You’ll find some of the best fishing spots near the adjoining resorts and lodges. These overnight facilities offer anglers the chance to plan a whole weekend of fishing enjoyment. There are many access points along the shore, as well as several marinas.
