If possible take a guide for the first day. I use StriperPhil out of Conley Bottom, "Conley Bottom Striper Guide". He knows the Lake extremely well and guides for a living, not part time. Give him a call on his cell 606-271-2247.

If no guide check back when your trip is closer and I will give you the best advice I have at the time.

Good Luck and have a great time.
