Fishing Report Archives

Kentucky Lake’s fishing scene had some unusually warm weather recently that had anglers out and about. Several days with above average temperatures had anglers testing the water for crappie. A few days the daytime highs climbed to the lower 70’s and upper 60’s, stirring fishing pox among the ranks of winter anglers.

Some nice stringers of crappie were taken too. Most successful anglers credited their catch to depths of 9 to 14 feet, which has been the norm lately. There were some reports of fish coming from deeper depths of 16 to 20 feet as well around the Paris Landing sector.

Lake levels have remained relatively stable lately despite some heavy rains across the region at times.

Currently the reservoir is resting around the 354.8 range, which is near the winter pool mark. Water color has been clear.

It appears things are about to change, however. A cold front is in the forecast for later this weekend and will influence the fishing scene well into next week.

Daytime highs are expected to be cold with highs only making it to the upper 40’s in the long range forecast. February is always a month full of surprises.

Looks like cold days are returning for the Kentucky Lake fishing scene at least until late next week.
