Largemouth Bass

Columbia, Kentucky, is a fantastic base for targeting largemouth bass, with Green River Lake being the star attraction. This large reservoir offers diverse fishing opportunities, from shallow, weedy coves to deep, clear water. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons. During the spring, focus on the backs of creeks and spawning areas. In the fall, the bass move to deeper water to feed on shad. For a local advantage, try fishing around the numerous submerged timber structures and brush piles that have been placed in the lake to enhance fish habitat. These areas hold good numbers of bass year-round. Green River Lake is known for producing quality largemouth, and double-digit fish are caught every year. Public boat ramps are readily available around the lake, providing easy access for anglers. Don't overlook the upper reaches of the lake where the Green River feeds in; these areas can be especially productive after rainfall.
