a wee bit different than those of Maine ... LOL!! But- seriously ... Herrington can be a good lake, especially with a locals help. There are some good sized Hybrid Stripers in there, too. There are no longer any Stripers in Herrington ... best advice for them, is go to Cumberland lake and hire a Striper guide. All of the lakes here are a little different than any of the others in the state, and all have their potential ... depending on what you're fishing for and how you like to fish.
Check local bait shops for KDFWR materials (boating & angling rules/regs, fish ID booklet, lake access pamphlets, etc) ... or contact the KDFWR and have them mailed to you. Check into subscribing to Ky Afield Magazine &/or Ky Game & Fish Magazine. You can also find good info, and free online articles or subscription info, here:

Welcome to KY. Cumberland is for sure the best place to go for stripers. As far as crappie fishing goes this is the place to be. Crappiepappy is one of the more knowledgable posters on this board especially regarding fishing in KY. There many others who are more than happy to share their expertise as well. If you get into crappie fishing this board will help you become a better crappie fisherman. I've crappie fished for years and thought I was pretty good at it. This board made me better. Once again, welcome to the state of KY.
