Report Updated May 25, 2007

Water temp high 60's
Bass fishing is picking up. Fish have spawned and are starting the post spawn feed.
Hybrids are good one day slow the next.
Catfish are starting to move to the banks for spawning, and noodling will be starting soon, unless the water temps stay in the 60's.
Jesse reports the lake is at full pool, and steady.
Will try to do this report more often now that I am settled in sort of in Alaska.

My husband and I recently visited Barren River Lake and spent the day with your guide Jessie. What fun we had! Jessie was delightful. He really knows the lake and answered all of our "fishin" questions. I would recommend Jessie to anyone wanting to have a great day on Barren River Lake. Sincerely, Cheryl and Rick Jones
