About Beaver Lake

Set in Kentucky, United States, Beaver Lake is a reservoir that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Beaver Lake usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

• For Bluegill

  Fish near structure like docks, weeds, or submerged trees where bluegill seek cover and food.

• For Channel catfish
