Fishing Southern Kentucky & Northern Tennessee Waters - Paperback

by Loy R. Milam (Author)

Loy Milam worked for several years as an outdoor editor in southern Kentucky and has also contributed a number of outdoor articles and photographs to many outdoor magazines throughout his career as a journalist. Southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee has a number of trophy fisheries, including Dale Hollow Lake which straddles the Kentucky-Tennessee state line and is home of the world record smallmouth bass; the Cumberland River which is a trophy trout fishery maintained by the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife and has also produced numbers of trophy walleye, sauger, and monster stripers over the years; Barren River Lake, which has an excellent population of bass and crappie; Cordell Hull, which produces a number of different species, including largemouth bass, walleye, sauger, and stripers; and Lake Cumberland, which is another excellent smallmouth and striper lake. In his career as a journalist, Milam has been fortunate to fish all of these waters with very knowledgeable anglers and has shared their knowledge through his newspaper, magazine, and online articles. He has written literally hundreds of articles on fishing southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee and has also served as a fishing guide on many of these same waters. In this book he shares what he has learned over the years from these expert anglers. Obviously the information in this book will aid the reader if he or she has the opportunity to make a fishing trip to southern Kentucky or northern Tennessee, but it will also allow him or her to become a better angler on their own home waters. Many of the techniques discussed in this book will easily translate into success on fishing locations throughout the country.
