kentucky lake without a doubt. Comparing green river to kentucky lake is like comparing a jon boat to a ranger. Lol!!

Our trip to K-Lake has unfortunately been post-poned. My father-in-law and wife's uncle bailed out on me when the forcast on Tuesday called for rain. That's what ***** about not owning your own boat and having to really on others for theirs! If they bail out on ya, you are screwed! Oh well, I'm trying to talk them into going this next week. We'll see. I NEED A BOAT!!!!!

Kentucky Lake, and it is a no-brainer unless you see some strong wind in the forecast.

Green is on-fire, and has been each spring for the last few years. But KY just gives you so much more to do and a better chance at those 5+ pounders. Heck, last weekend I caught an 8 pound LM (won big fish with it) on Green, but given the choice between KY or Green for a day I pick KY every time with a weather caveat.

But don't let any rain scare you away from Green. The main lake is where we've been having our best luck and it doesn't muddy up easily. More importantly, I can fish anywhere I want on Green when there is a 20-30 MPH south wind. I can't say that about KY Lake. So, if it looks like the wind will blow me off of KY Lake I would choose Green.

That was ONE day on Green. KY Lake can potentially produce like that everyday. Like someone said earlier, Green is a hit and miss. KY Lake possesses more consistency throughout.

Im going to get beat up for this but a few years back the KFWD gave stats on lakes in KY and I think per hour catch and size of fish Green was actually the top lake. I think the resergance of Barkley and Kentucky lakes surely have equaled this or taken over by now though. Timing is everything and if Greens on you cant go wrong there either.

I researched and actually found the new information and the average 5 fish limit for Kentucky lake was near 15 lbs and Greens was near 13 lbs

Green River - HANDS DOWN, there are no fish in Ky or Barkley.
