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!

Thanks for the link. It looks as though Lake Shelbyville and Carlyle
have some things in common, aside from the varieties of fish,
including the river that feeds them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Shelbyville

I used to travel to Peoria every week since I worked for an
engineering services company that did work for Catapillar. I would
take I-74 from Bloomington to Peoria, and a short way out of
Bloomington on the interstate is a sign that says "Origin of the
Kaskia River." There's nothing to see there. It looks like there
might be a small gully that runs through a cow pasture on the south
side of the highway. I suspect that may be what the sign is referring
to. Illinois has some nice lakes as a result of that gully.
