Since it is my first trip to Dale where is the closest put in to Dale from Central KY area? Thanks for the help.
Closest place to launch from Central Ky is Wisdom Ramp just outside of Albany Ky. This will put you in Illwill Creek on the Ky side of the lake. If you are interested in the FNF then take a trip to Celina and go to the One Stop and they have everything you need to get started. A Lexus Silstar rod and their FNF starter kit plus fireline mainline and flourocarbon leader plus a pack of 3 way swivels will set you back less than $120 for all and you will be set to start with the fly. If you do go to Celina then you can launch down there at Pleasant Grove or Horse Creek or even Hendricks Creek or State Park ramp on your way back out. Make sure you have your TN liscense if you are not fishing Ky or recipricating waters just a reminder since it will by your first trip to Dale. Elnut
