Although Cave Run is one of the best muskie lakes south of the great lakes, kentucky nearly lacks a pike population. Pike require deep, cold, oxegenated waters, something no kentucky lake has other than laurel. Laurel once had a pike population, but died out after the trout stocking, which competed too heavily for the forage. At last check, Dewey Lake in eastren KY had a tiger muskie population, a cross between muskie and pike, and some of the slower streams in westren KY have pickerel, a warm water cousin of the pike.
A new KY species I've had a lot of fun of hunting is trout. It's highly accesible, to the Wolf Creek Dam and the KDFWR Fish Farm, and very fun to catch. A great eat, too!
