Welcome to
Kentucky Lake
It’s about fun, family, friends and memories. It’s about catching a giant bass or crappie or skiing
alongside 2,300 miles of shoreline. It’s about taking time to slow down and enjoy life’s simple
pleasures like breakfast in bed or cooking around your campfire. It’s about feeling like you really
ARE on vacation. It’s about Kentucky Lake.
The memories of your youth will come rushing back to you on our beautiful lake. Race go-karts,
play miniature golf, take a bike ride, visit the animals at the nature station, watch a Kentucky Constellation presentation inside the planetarium, go horseback riding, take a swim, hop on a jet ski,
camp out, hunt, fish, shop, boat, bird watch, see a drive-in movie, golf, see a live country music
show, go to a dinner theatre, or see live blues or bluegrass music. Whatever you decide, make
sure the kid inside you gets to choose!
Kentucky Lake was formed by the completion of Kentucky Dam, the longest dam at 8,422 feet on
the Tennessee River in the Tennessee Valley Authority system.
The 184 mile Kentucky Lake is bordered on the east by Land Between the Lakes, one of Kentucky’s most visited attractions. Inside this 170,000-acre play land you can live out any type of
outdoor recreational activity imaginable. Hike, bike, hunt, fish, camp and relax inside this noncommercialized haven of nature’s preserved beauty.
Visit us often, or come and stay as long as your heart desires. Either way, you’ll be welcome however long you choose to stay.

Fishing at Kentucky Lake
By Steve Vantreese
If you care about fishing, Kentucky Lake is almost too good to be true.
So, what’s the catch?
It depends on how you fish. Multiple species
await you. But it is true -- no flimflam -- that
this giant, middle American reservoir has some
of the best fishing going. There are oodles of
anglers’ glory days to be had here. Fish of quality in quantity are available on a lake with
tremendous elbowroom (160,000 acres) and
opportunity, surrounded by facilities that make
the fisherman’s quest easy.
Kentucky Lake, more than 60 years old, always
has been known as a good black bass lake.
Good old days bass fishing, however, can’t hold
a candle to what’s going on nowadays. There’s a
bass boom under way that could take the fishing quality off the charts.
Thanks to a series of exceptional black bass
spawns and a resurgence of aquatic vegetation
-- water weeds -- Kentucky Lake is teeming
with bass. Swarms of largemouth are in classes
of fish that have reached the 15-inch minimum
“keeper” size limit and beyond. The numbers of
three- to five-pound bass available are crazy, and
those even larger aren’t scarce, either.

It only promises to get better, for there are untold number of largemouth just under keeper
size and growing toward it. These “throw-back”
youngsters are reason enough to come fun fishing on Kentucky Lake. Get occupied in schools
of these and some of those 80- to 100-fish days
unfold, with fishermen having too good a time
to care that many of their fish aren’t keepers.
Legal and larger bass in limit numbers, however, are remarkably routine on Kentucky Lake.
Using tournament catches as a measuring stick,
competitive anglers don’t make many waves at
the weigh-ins most of the year unless they are
filling limits with bass averaging four pounds or
more per fish.
Most observers expect increasing numbers of
heavyweight fish over the next few seasons as
jumbo spawn classes age, but already catches
averaging better than five pounds per fish are
seen.
Along with Kentucky Lake’s boomer largemouth population, it boasts a lesser but exceptional segment of smallmouth bass. Some open
water, usually deeper fishing patterns that focus
on these bronze beauties can produce all-smallmouth catches that include what would be fish
of a lifetime elsewhere. It’s not just everywhere
that one can mix largemouth and smallmouth
in, say, the five-pound class on consecutive casts
-- but you can here.
Kentucky Lake has a wonderfully long season
and the advantage of multiple methods for
catching bass. It’s do-able year round, but most
concentrate from March through November.
Early and late in the season, more bass are
caught deeper along main lake structures like
points.
During the spring warm-up, fishing prospers
shallower and shallower as largemouth gradually migrate into major creeks and eventually
into the backs of bays and pockets for spawning.
There’s a period in April and May when typically
much of the fishing takes place around shallow
shores as higher water envelopes bushes and
other vegetation.
Many bass anglers concentrate on deeper, offshore structures -- drop-offs, underwater points
and humps -- from late spring through summer
as many of the bass take up positions in schools
there. While many prefer these open water
spots during the warm months, there are always
others who find plenty of action working much
shallower water around banks, points or back in
coves. There are enough bass that alternatives
work.
Come the cooling weather of autumn and the
28
throughout the years, and black crappie have responded by becoming the dominant species.
Fishermen who have adapted to black crappie
ways -- fishing more by casting and long-line
trolling and concentrating more on shallower,
shoreline sorts of water -- are discovering
some good new days that rival the good old
ones. Crappie fishing can still be hot, and black
crappie produce their own rich ranks of thick
fish of two pounds and heavier.
Anglers increasingly have discovered that
bluegill and redear sunfish constitute one of
Kentucky Lake’s greatest fishing resources.
These sunfish species once were relegated to
kid stuff, until changing lake conditions pumped
up their sizes to capture adult attention.
Nowadays, bluegill of greater than hand size
are caught by the sackful, and redears pose a
big-game twist of sunfish opportunities. These
“shell crackers” grow to more than one pound
with regularity while their numbers have in-
bass fishing grows more shallow and scattered.
From then until the onset of wintry weather
slows the bass bite, a whole arsenal of tactics
and lures might pay off on any one day.
You’d be mistaken, however, if you put all your
eggs into the bass basket. Bass may be the headliners on Kentucky Lake nowadays, but there’s
so much more.
Kentucky Lake for good reason has had a better reputation as a crappie fishing hole. The
reservoir built its reputation on slab-sized what
crappie for decades.
The lake is a changed world since then, and
today’s crappie fishing isn’t what it was -- but
that’s not to say it’s weak. Kentucky Lake still is
at the upper tier of crappie waters, but the environment is different.
The old lake continues to produce some of the
biggest, skillet-filling white crappie, but they are
a minority nowadays. The waters have grown
clearer and the bottom increasingly rocky
29
there, another set of anglers hardly gets motivated for anything that lacks whiskers. And Kentucky Lake has it in spades with its bulging
population of catfish -- blues, channels and flatheads. Underfished if anything, the lake’s catfish
riches probably offer the best chances to add
ridiculous poundage to your catch and to tussle
with something longer than your leg.
Blue catfish in double-figure weights are pretty
hum-drum and the adults among the species
aren’t rare in economy sizes -- 30 pounds on up
and out of sight. It’s probably your best chance
at a 60- or 70-pound inland catch.
Channel catfish are more common in singledigit weights, but a boat load can be freezer fodder for multiple fish fries to come. The species
is caught throughout most of the year, often a
common catch in the lake’s bays.
Flathead catfish, less common, still offer a gollywhopper potential for the whisker fish angler.
Like the blues, they can grow to relative giant
creased from a relative trace population to a
significant segment of the sunfishes.
There may be no better option on Kentucky
Lake for producing fast action and about as
many fish as one wants to catch than bait fishing
with ultra light gear around a bluegill or redear
spawning bed in late spring. It’s great for veteran
and first-time fishermen alike.
The hot weather staple for Kentucky Lake visitors and locals alike, however, would have to be
white bass, or “stripes” to the natives. These
line-sided predators prowl the open waters of
the main lake ambushing schools of shad minnows -- and anglers who get lures before them
incur stretched lines and loaded rods.
Hard-hitting action makes white bass a favorite
of everyone who fishes for them, and the peak
of the stripe bite in mid-summer is refreshing
during a time when many other forms of fishing
suffer a bit of decline in the heat.
With all this game and panfish action out
30
size.
Sure, there are plenty of things to do up on
shore, but with the quality fishing that Kentucky
Lake holds in its range of favored species, it
would be a shame to waste too much time off
the water.

Hunting at Kentucky Lake
By Steve Vantreese
Take a walk on the wild side of the Kentucky
Lake area for some memory-making hunting adventures.
The woodlands, waters, fields and sloughs of
the region keep pulling back sportsmen every
season for pursuits of game large and small,
furred and feathered.
A headliner for many hunters is the whitetailed deer, and the Kentucky Lake area grows
plenty and whoppers of the species. The state of
Kentucky in general is among the leaders nationally in producing record book quality bucks.
Kentucky’s long-running archery season, cross-
33
bow hunting, muzzleloader and modern rifle
seasons provide ample opportunities to search
out that wallhanger and the freezer-filling venison the deer hunter seeks.
Kentucky wildlife managers encourage hunters
to take more whitetails to help hold the burgeoning population in check, so come on and
lend a hand.
Public land is often critical to opportunity, and
the big lake area has oodles of it. Chief among
these is the U.S. Forest Service-managed Land
Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
The LBL is a topic all itself, an enormous
wooded peninsula sandwiched between Kentucky Lake and the sister waters of Lake
Barkley.
The LBL is 170,000 acres of ridges and hollows, more than 90 percent of it forested in
oak- and hickory-dominated hardwoods. The big
woods area long has been a favorite for visiting
deer hunters who take advantage of tremendous elbowroom, bonus deer permits, quota
gun hunts and freewheeling archery hunting opportunities.
Another kind of habitat, if anything, more rich
in game, is found in the Clark’s River National
Wildlife Refuge that centers around the bottomland hardwood corridor of Clark’s River
both upstream and downstream from its headquarters at Benton.
Presently regulated in conjunction with
statewide seasons, Clark’s River NWR offers
thousands of acres where enterprising hunters
can probe the bottomlands for boomer bucks
in deer season.
Turkeys rival deer when it comes to stirring
hunter passions, and the Kentucky Lake area is
packed with the big birds. The rites of spring
mean turkey gobbler hunting hereabouts, and it
mobilizes a camouflage-clad legion in pursuit of
old Tom.
The LBL hosts quota turkey hunting as well as
non-quota, open hunting opportunities each
spring gobbler season. Clark’s River NWR also
hosts a great deal of turkey hunting under
statewide season regulation.
Waterfowling is another driving force for
sportsmen. Kentucky Lake itself can be a chilly
season hotbed of waterfowl action when Mississippi Flyway migrators spin off for some big
water rest stops.
The big reservoir attracts a mixture of puddle
ducks and some divers, and a smattering of
Canada geese add some extra big bird zest to
the action. Free lance hunting from boat and
shoreline blinds can be rewarding throughout
the season. Kentucky Lake hunting can get a jolt
of added duck movement during serious winter
cold when bottomland waters freeze over and
birds seek out the open water of the reservoir.

Relax at any one of our resorts, motels, bed and breakfasts, campgrounds and condominiums, or dive into recreation with volleyball, jet skiing, boating, tennis, golf, fishing and
hunting.
Kentucky Lake prides itself in offering diverse accommodations for everyone. Our
lodging includes lakefront cabins and cottages, motels and hotels (most with swimming pools and only a short drive from the
lake), primitive and full hook-up campgrounds and unique floating houseboat vacations.
Our resorts and motels are strategically
located throughout the beautiful lake area
with access to major highways. At Kentucky Lake, you’ll have no trouble finding
