I am looking to buy a cabin or Lake House for now and retirement in the future but want to find a good all around fishing lake.
I have always fished Ky. lake and Cumberland. Ky Lake is too far for weekend trips and Cumberland is more of a party lake for 5 months so I'm looking elsewhere and I'm sure this will be the best place to get good information.

I'm looking at Rough, Barren, Nolin, and Herrington. Striprers would be nice but primarily looking for a good solid Bass, Crappie, Redear and Catfish lake and pretty much in that order if I could have a dream lake. I appreciate your suggestions and recommendations. Thanks Tech
