You won't need any other paper map other than the Atlantic Map.
As far as which lake...and where on which lake...that depends on when in the spring you are going to be here...the fishing peaks on the late prespawn at different times in different areas. Ky was much better than Barkley overall last year...but had some really good days on Barkley last spring...it is all relative. My advice if you are just fun fishing is to not dock your boat...keep it on the trailer, that way you can pick areas to fish based upon latest information and wind/weather conditions. We have plenty of ramps down here so a lot of water is accessable by trailering...that way you can capitolize on your trip.
