Fishing at Kentucky Lake
|
| Kentucky Lake has 160,000 acres of water and 2,380 miles of shoreline which is the longest shoreline of any man-made lake in the world. For some of the best fishing in the world, Kentucky Lake offers Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Kentucky (Spotted) Bass, Striped Bass, White Bass, White and Black Crappie, Blue Gill, Sauger, Rock Fish, and Catfish. |

A great time is had by all at Kentucky Lake Scenic Retreat!
|
 |
|
We have a very nice fish cleaning house!
|
The fish cleaning house has running water and electricity. Please do not dump fish parts on the land or in the trash cans, this will attract racoons and other varmits. Take the fish parts across to the vacant north shore of
Jonathon Creek to feed the racoons and turtles. |
|
Kenlake Marina and Jonathon Creek Marina are located within a few miles of our home. Thye are full-service marinas, offering bait/tackle, fishing license, a launching ramp, and boat and PWC boat rentals.
Call (270) 474-2245 or (800) 624-4124.
