Hi Colayn,

I agree with slabber. I guide on Kentucky Lake and in 2005 we hit Dale Hollow in April for a vacation from fishing Kentucky Lake, go figure. We rented a houseboat from East Port Marina which is up the Obey River. We anchored a few miles down river closer to the main lake. I was in my boat a few small bays further down river fishing the bank with roadrunners. Close to the bank I saw the trunk of a tree about three feet under the water extending down the bank in about 15 feet of water. I backed off the bank about 10-15 yards and trolled over the tree watching my LCR. It lit up with fish. I casted over the biggest portion, counted down 7 or 8 feet, started my retrieve and THUMP! I caught good blacks and whites off that tree all week. most were 12-14 inches with a couple bigger fish. I tried to duplicate that pattern and found another tree or two with fish but none as productive as that one. It must have had the right combination of cover, food, access to the channel, etc. One of my best trips to Dale Hollow ever!
