Fishing is one of the main attractions at Barren River Lake and for those who don’t own a boat, or prefer fishing from the shoreline, there are three fishing piers to choose from. Two of these piers are located at the Quarry Road Recreation Area located at the dam off State Highway 252 in Barren County. Choose the main lake to fish from or a more quiet location in a small pond adjacent to the parking lot. The third location is located below Lucas, Ky., at the end of South Lucas Road on Peter Creek. From U.S. 31 East take State Highway 1318 west and turn left at the stop sign onto South Lucas Road. [Barren River Lake. www.nwk.usace.army.mil, 04/06/2008]

Barren River Lake Solar and Lunar Conditions
Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
New Moon fishing can be at its best. The gravitational pull on the earth is at its peak when the moon and sun are rising and setting at the same time of day. This combination can generate extraordinary fishing opportunities especially if combined with perfect weather variances. The new moon may have the fish extremely aggressive and actively hunting for food. Try fishing a little faster today and with several different baits and techniques. When fish are more aggressive, its always fun to fish a little more aggressive. Watch the peak fishing times and make sure you are on the water during that part of the day to take full advantage of today?s solar/lunar peaks. Have a great day!

What's This
Barren River Lake Current Weather
Temperature: 48
Barometric Pressure: 29.96 (Rising)
Fish will tend to become a little more active while the barometric pressure is actively climbing. They will start feeding more aggressively with rising pressure. Fish will be a little more difficult to locate a solid pattern if a storm system has been around for some time. It’s time to experiment to see if you can lock in a location or pattern the fish are in. Once you locate a solid pattern the fish are on, fish that pattern aggressively moving from spot to spot to locate that exact scenario around the lake.
Wind Speed: North at Knots (0 MPH)
