Thanks for that update, Brad !! I'll be putting those GPS coords in my unit, just as soon as the dang temperature drops below "egg frying" degrees.
Everyone, Joseph Zimmerman, with KRFWR, has asked me to post information about a recent habitat build on Barren River Lake.
The fisheries division of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources recently completed the first phase of a large scale fish habitat project on Barren River Lake. Several volunteers including local anglers, Backcountry hunters and anglers, and the Great Onyx Job Corps helped out during the multi-day effort. Hundreds of structures were placed throughout lower Peters Creek. Habitat included large cedar trees, PVC trees, rock and Mossback fish attractor structures. Overall, 14 sites were created on the flats, main lake points and secondary pockets. Check out the attached side scan imagery of two of the sites. Planning and staging for the next phase will be starting this fall.
Russ Ayers and I fished a few of those sites this morning and located some willing biters.
Waypoints for these locations can be located on the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife website at FW.KY.GOV
