Largemouth Bass

Bellefonte, Kentucky, offers a variety of freshwater fishing opportunities, and the largemouth bass fishing in nearby lakes and rivers can be quite rewarding. Anglers often target the Ohio River and its tributaries, as well as smaller lakes in the surrounding area. Spring and fall are the best times to target largemouth here, as the fish are most active during these periods. Look for bass around submerged vegetation, docks, and rocky shorelines. A popular local tip is to use crankbaits or spinnerbaits to cover water quickly and locate active fish. The Greenup Locks and Dam area can be productive, but be mindful of the restricted areas. The local bass population is healthy, with opportunities to catch both numbers of fish and some quality-sized largemouth.
