Google " Ky lake fishing reports" There are a number of guides who report weekly on conditions and hot baits. Good luck, I'm heading down there the 16th for 2 weeks.

Your so close, The Mississippi river. Best fishing hole in the midwest. Go to Lake-link.com and under wis. fishing reports, look for "pool 9 Genoa" lots of information. I fish that area bout 30 days a year for bass. The great thing about the Mississippi is you never know what you will catch. 3/8 oz. spinnerbait will catch bass, pike etc . Great idea is the fishing barge below the #8 dam. Google " Clements fishing barge Mississippi river" gives you all the info you need and you won't need a boat. Good luck..

Try googling "ky lake fishing reports" There are a number of guides that report weekly on lake conditions,water temps,current "best baits", etc. I fished KY last year in April for two weeks and am leaving on the 16th for two more weeks. Last year, we caught most of our fish on shakey head worms , pumpkin and pumpkin/chart. T-rigged lizzards, same colors and 3/8 oz spinner baits double willow, chart/white and blue/silver. Shad and crawfish are the most abundant foarge. With the 68-80 bridge out, fishing both lakes is difficult unless you are staying near the dam. Good luck.

According to my wife, fishing and hunting. For the first 38 years being married, I fished and hunted way too much. Now after 4 years of retirement, she tells me to get out of the house and go fishing Who'd a thunk.

Last year in April we caught most of our fish ( up to 4 lb.) on shakey head jigs 3/16 and pumpkin worms. 2nd. best was 3/8 oz spinnerbaits chart/white.

I fished Ky lake last year and am going again in mid April. Google: " Ky. Lake guides", there are a bunch of them. If you are going in 3 weeks, you might want to Google: Ky lake fishing reports. There is a whole lot of information in those places. Ky.lake is a great place in April. Good luck Any more questions, feel free.

Also google the " uni knot " It's all I use and easy to tie. Never had a problem with it.

Check if there is a " Trout Unlimited " or " Federation of Fly Fisherman " chapter in your area. These guys are great in helping to learn flyfishing. If you don't, try their web sites, they usually have vidios. Good luck, it's a great sport that isn't limited to just trout..

It wasn't all that many years ago that all snow machines were called "Skidoos" I have a 1968 and a 1978 Herters catalog that have " umbrella rigs listed ( baits not included ) When the " chatterbait" came out a few years ago, a bunch of companys came out with a copy before the next season. A " baconrind" that Davy Hite used to win the classic was a copy of Zooms brush hog. How many companys now make a " tube " "Bandit" had square bill in the early 90's. Every company that makes plastics has a copy of the " senko " Sorry Ms.Poss, you loose my money and respect. I hope I am the first to copywrite the "Mississippi rig" It's Zoom plumworm on an "Owner hook, witha BPS red glass bead, a Cabella's sinker,fished on P-line , Shimano curado reel and St. Croix rod. Can I use the word "rig " So sue me.

#1 senko, black/blue fleck, pumpkin/chart tail, pumpkin and plum. #2 Zoom u-tail 7" in sourgrape, plum, plumapple and pumpkin #3 Zoom baby brush hog / Bacon rind, in sour grape, pumpkin, watermelon, and black/red flake or black/green flake.
