Ky Lake vs Green River
Ok looking for a little help if anyone would be so kind. The wife and I have been going to Ky lake every year for the last 10-12 years. Stayed predominately around the Big Bear area. But also stayed at Cypress Bay on the KY/TN line as well as Paris Landing and Springville in TN. Been to Reelfoot lake also. We think we have our hearts set on retiring and moving to the KY lake area somewhere between Benton KY to Paris Landing area. HOWEVER we would like to test the waters at a couple other lakes before deciding. I have about 3 more years before I retire. We were thinking about making a visit to Green River lake or Barren River lake. We mainly fish for crappie, but close second is bluegill, white bass, yellow bass. Of those 2 lakes which would you recommend? I really think I like what I read about Green River. I am certain it is hard to beat Ky lake but I just would like to try a couple different areas before I commit. We are choosing an area in close proximity to a lake. I want to retire and live out my days fishing. Nowhere close to a big city.
Also on my thinking list was Nolin lake, Rough River lake, Dale Hollow lake and Old Hickory lake. Please share your thoughts, good and bad, on any of these lakes.
Thanks in advance for any info you share.
Crappie spawning and morels popping up at the same time. What was God thinking when he made that schedule. It's pure torture every spring deciding which to do.
