Ken lake seems to be a beautiful get away spot:

Hope you have a great time.


One of the reasons I enjoy Kentucky Lake so much is because of the
fishing. *The crappie fishing in the the spring is just fantastic. And
I can catch some nice crappie right off the dock where we have our
boat moored. *I had my worst fishing there this outing. *I hauled in a
few small bass and crappie, which I released. *But, I had a lot of
large fish that broke my lines (probably channel or blue cats). *I
ended up having to switch to 12 lb test from the 8 lb that I had been
using for white bass. *The entire area down there, though, is a good
vacation spot. *The link I have here is just for the Land Between the
Lakes;

There's so much more down there, one note wouldn't do it justice.

I've been to Carlyle Lake before; but, I 've never fished there. *I've
fished Rend Lake and some of the other Lakes in the lower half of the
state, though. *I'll have to give Carlyle a try sometime (if I can
ever manage to get that kind of time.)

Well, Carlyle doesn't have the beauty of the Kentucky Lakes network
that's for sure, but there is a lot of fishing done there, back in the
little coves and such. and seeing that the lake is actually a dammed
up portion of the Kaskaskia river, there's a lot of fishing done at
the base of the spillway. not much beauty, but lots of fish!
