KYFW setting habitat

[BardstownFish]

Somebody is going to be very happy with with the Fish and Wildlife guys. I saw one of there pickups traveling I-65 then Cumberland parkway past Glasgow. The truck bed was full of cinder blocks and the bass boat they were towing was piled 5 foot deep with evergreens. Anyone know where they were headed? Wish they would have gone to Nolin!

Spread the wealth! Barren and Green are two cover poor lakes that I know of.

I know that they have set bunches of stuff out but they still have a long way to go to make it adequate IMO. They may have set some out but i still see plenty of banks when i am duck hunting in the winter that have absolutely zero cover of any kind for hundreds of yards stretches.

Continue to laugh your a$$ off but you can't have too much. And when they start to think that they have too much they might be getting close to have just barely enough. When it gets drawn down 25 foot everywinter the cover degrades very quickly. I place my own stuff there too and can tell you that i am lucky if I can get one piece of cover to make it three years before it is broken down, silted in, or washed away.

Let me take you to a couple cover poor lakes...you'll think barren is a jungle.....go to cumberland for example.

Gotta side with buzzking on this one Barren is a crankbait eating fool compared to the lakes I usually fish. I fish Cumberland alot and when I find good cover I feel like I stole something, lol. I keep it to myself to. Had a standing tree in a location I'll leave nameless, it was a multiple fish place everytime I hit it and always had at least one keeper on it. When they dropped the water some Mental Giant went there and cut it down thinking I guess it was gonna help.....NOT. It ruint it in fact it hasn't been worth crap since.

Anyway I digress, I've got some banks in Beaver Creek on Barren that I fish and nail largeheads and spots on. Heck I lay the plug knocker on the deck cause I know I'm gonna need it multiple times, lol.

I didn't say that there weren't more lakes with less cover in them, I just said that I thought that Barren and Green were cover poor. Hopefully after they fix the leaks in the dam at Cumberland that all the stuff that has been growing on the exposed banks will make it better.

I don't doubt that some of the deep highland lakes are lacking cover too.

Up the creeks at barren are pretty good. Stumps lining the channels and flats. However in the winter time those stumps are useless since they are out of the water. The main lake is really devoid of cover, again, IMO. I fish crappie almost exclusively, so the cover I am talking about is brushpiles and stakebeds. They just don't seem to hold to stumps in Barren like they do other places, they really gravitate to brush better.
