Crappie Pappy's summary is excellent info, as always.

You might be in interesting in checking the Kentucky River. Some guys on here mentioned it earlier in the winter, and I am looking forward to getting down there and checking it out.

Cedar Creek Lake is about 2 hours. Who knows what's going on with the Crappie there. It's managed as a trophy bass lake, and this past year they removed the size limit on Crappie because they thought it was choked full of small ones. Well, there sure weren't many reports of people bringing home big numbers of fish either on here or on the Cedar Creek Outfitters website. Seemed Crappie fishing was slow all year.

Right in Lexington is Lake Ellerslie Fishing Club. As far as I know, it's a private lake with restricted access, and the only way to become a member is to live in Lexington. I would like to know more about that place, but I haven't found any more info on it. It would be pretty sweet to be able to fish within the city limits.

Good luck to you and keep us posted on your trips!
