Beaver Lake near Lawrenceburg, KY

I Went the Sunday before last. First time in years. Got there around 4 am and went to the very back of the lake first so I could fish against the wind on the way back to the dock. I think they may still be using this lake as a hatchery lake. I had 29 fish only 1-14" fish every thing else was 9" to11" long. The early fish came on Buzz baits And jerk baits the later hits were on pegged sinkos and jigs in the grass. Water had good color and was 81 decrees. The dock is closed so bring what you need and there is no ramp fees. They need to put a slot limit here or stop taking all the fish to other lakes.

I think they need to take MORE fish out not less....there are waaaay too many 11" fish in that lake, it needs thinned out to let some of them grow. the growth is stunted in that lake!

I agree that why I said they need a slot limit so we can help take those 9" TO 11" fish out. With all those 11" and nothing bigger it tells me they are taking fish 11" and longed out. If you watch the video and watch the fish they were measuring and the ones that were in the net they were all 12" fish and larger. That last net full had some 2lb and 3lb fish in it. I know they look at what the lake will be like in 10 or 20 years. So I guess we will have to live with it. But even if it go's to idle speed I doubt if I will go back with only small fish to be caught.

Okay, yeah you're right. I agree its tough to head out there knowing that you'll be lucky to catch a 12". On the other hand you can always take a child or your girl there and guarantee some fish on the line. But yeah Its tough to go there and feel good about fishing it. maybe they will get it right. We did have a yak tournament out there and had a big fish at 19" so there are some good fish there but man are they few and far.
