Blue Catfish
If you're after trophy-sized blue catfish, Harrodsburg, Kentucky, offers some excellent opportunities. Herrington Lake, a deep, clear reservoir, is the primary draw. Its unique thermocline and abundant forage create ideal conditions for blues to grow to impressive sizes. The best fishing is typically from late spring through early fall. Blues tend to move deeper in the summer to cooler waters, so target areas near the old river channel or submerged timber using sonar. For bank access, try the dam area or various points along the lake's shoreline. A local tip: Use fresh cut bait like shad or skipjack herring for best results. Be prepared for a fight – these fish are powerful!
