Barren Lake fishing Report Updated June 9, 2009

Jesse says that the fish are biting like crazy on Barren River. Limits of good hybrids from 2 to 11 pounds are being caught on Eerie Deeries, Crankbaits and Spoons.
Water is 2 feet above summer pool and dropping. Water temps are in the high 70's, and fairly clear over most of the lake.


May 29, 2009
Fishing is heating up despite the lake being a bit high. Water temps are in the 70's and hybrids are chasing shad and alewives early in the AM and late in the evening near dark.
Bass are fair to good in the creeks.
Bluegill and shellcracker are fair.
Crappie are good in about 10 foot of water deeper on cover in some places. With the lake up about 5 feet you want to fish deeper than normal for this time of year for crappie.

Jesse reports he went fishing last Tuesday afternoon and the Hybrids were "really" biting. Water temp was 70 degrees. He was taking one about every thirty minutes on a jigging spoon. Size ranged from about 17" to 5 pounds.

My husband and I recently visited Barren River Lake and spent the day with your guide Jessie. What fun we had! Jessie was delightful. He really knows the lake and answered all of our "fishin" questions. I would recommend Jessie to anyone wanting to have a great day on Barren River Lake. Sincerely, Cheryl and Rick Jones
