Description: When taken by the need to fish Kentucky, take Kentucky's expert fisherman along. A valuable tool for anglers of all skill levels, and including six lakes not covered in the previous edition, A Fishing Guide to Kentucky's Major Lakes is The source for information on the twenty-two most important Kentucky reservoirs and the top fifteen sport fish species found therein.

Kentucky boasts some of America's finest fishing lakes. From deep, cold lakes teeming with walleye, muskie, and smallmouth bass, to mud-bottomed shallows famous for catfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass, this mix is guaranteed to test the skill of any angler.

Well-known Kentucky outdoors writer Art Lander reveals what type of fishing is best at each lake, where fish can be found during the various seasons, and what tackle and techniques have proven best for each species. He gives information on feeding habits, luring techniques, and Kentucky and IGFA records for Kentucky game fish. Lander's book sparkles with where-to and how-to tips from top professionals Billy Westmorland, Kevin Van Dam, and Danny Butler, as well as local lake guides, conservation officers, fishery biologists, and creel survey clerks who work the lakes daily.

The book is especially useful to anglers planning weekend trips or family vacations to unfamiliar waters. Individual chapters provide information concerning marinas, boat launching ramps, tourism offices, lake level/fishing report hotlines, and the lake managers' offices. Detailed maps of each lake and numerous illustrations round out this most useful guide.
