My wife an I are seriously considering buying a house on Lake Barkley. We have two young children and feel the years of family enjoyment would be worth added expense we would incur. However I keep reading so much doom and gloom about what harm the Asian carp could/will do to the fishing an water sports type recreation on Kentucky/Barkley that I am concerned about both the local economy and the housing prices tanking as a result, and also our enjoyment from fishing, etc. being severely hampered in the future as a result.

So I guess I am trying to take an unofficial type of poll from others who may have a more educated perspective than I on the issue.

Assuming you had the desire to, would you by a house on Lake Barkley at this point in time or would the Asian carp problem scare you off from doing so?


Thanks in advance for any input.
