East Fork I consider my home lake. My partners and I do extremely well on that lake. I have been looking at properties on CLand, Green River, Patoka, Barren River, Taylorsville, Cave Run, Waynoka. Each has +/-'s. My wife does not want to relocate. The lake home would be a second home. I just want to have access to a good crappie lake when I retire.
