Benji kinman lake

I live 6 miles from the lake and have not been because of all the people. Guys conservation of the fish is up to all of us, so if you see someone keeping the bass write down the "KY" number on the boat and call the fish and wildlife and report them. It might not help that fish but maybe those idiots that ignore the law will start thinking twice if they think they might get caught. This is a real problem in this area for the river too. Some people don't think the law applies to them and I very rarely see a conservation officer on the river or anywhere around here. People shoot guns right off the locks in Lockport into the river even if you are in a boat out there fishing like they have no fear of being caught or killing someone. The law just don't come down here very often. Please report the people you see keeping the bass, its the only chance we have to keep a good small lake healthy around here. It is a shame that people are like that.

I have been there a few times and DID get checked by a CO one morning. I don't know if it was part of a daily patrol or not.

I had a CO at Salato Wldlife Center tell me that fish poaching was a well known problem at Benjy K so its something they know about and hopefully are working on a solution. I just don't know what that solution would be.

In the end there is only so much they can do. This isn't the only lake that this is happening and there just aren't enough officers to have one at every body of water with any regularity.
