Whether you live in or are planning a visit to Kentucky, this state offers endless outdoor activities and attractions for you to take part in. Especially for those who love to fish, Kentucky has the perfect environment to cast a fishing rod — in every season.
With all of the cabins and campgrounds available, you will be able to plan a getaway you and your loved ones won't soon forget. Check out this fishing guide to learn more.
Before planning your next fishing trip, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Because Kentucky has a relatively mild climate, the best time to go fishing in Kentucky is year-round. There are no closed seasons, and it is quick and simple to obtain a fishing license in the state.
When you go fishing, you need to be aware of regulations for specific bodies of water and fish species. For example, the daily limit for largemouth bass is six whereas the daily limit for crappies is 20 — and both are catch and release only.
There is a wide variety of fish that you will find in Kentucky waters, including:
The type of bait you should use depends on the type of fish you are trying to catch. Even within a species, like bass, the bait can vary. Curly tail grubs or twister tail jigs work well for white bass, while lures and live bait are more effective for striped bass. You can use small suspending jerkbaits to catch trout or some chicken liver and cut bait to reel in a channel catfish.
