Shimmy,
Good luck on the fishing. I have not fished Paris Res or Cove Lake......but have Blue Mountain.....caught some nice crappie there last spring. Cove Lake will be a lot closer to you once up on he mountain. The Grapevine in Paris has some good food...there is a steakhouse and some pizza places in Paris also.....not much on the Danville side of the mountain other than the Memory Lane cafe in either Belleville or Havana I forget which. I was surprised at the quality of the food at the lodge also.
Good luck and remember Blue Mtn has a nine limit that is strickly enforced.
