it's no secret among those who have fished the lake that record catches of
Bass and game fish can be found year round. Measuring 134 miles in length Lake Barkley is
typical of mainstream reservoirs with thriving populations of Largemouth Bass, White Bass,
Crappie, Catfish and Bluegill. It should be noted that fishermen are beginning to see a
growing number of Smallmouth Bass as well. Anglers who have never fished for White Bass
(Stripers) on Lake Barkley have certainly missed some real summer action. Jumps along
river drops and flats from Buzzard Rock Marina near mile marker #39.0 past Eddy Creek to
Shelly Light at marker #53.0 keep anglers busy. Just imagine over 15 miles of water with
fish for the catching. Combine that with an excellent spring Crappie run and trophy size
Largemouth and you'll soon see why the popularity of this lake, and it's reputation for
being one of the best fishing lakes in the country, continues to grow.
Bass fishing is another hot commodity on this lake which offers an
exceptional population of Largemouth Bass. With a remarkable number of them in the 4-7
pound range, anglers will be equally thrilled with the number of trophy size fish that can
be found as well. Combine your Largemouth population with a companion population of
Smallmouth Bass which also produces a remarkable number of fish up to 5 pounds or larger,
and you'll soon understand just how this lake got it's reputation. Include a few other
fishing options like Bluegill and Catfish, Sauger and Stripers, and you'll begin to see
why Kentucky Lake is considered one of the best fishing lakes in the country.
