About Elmer Davis Lake
Elmer Davis Lake is a river flowing through Kentucky, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Elmer Davis Lake, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Black crappie
Vary your retrieve speed until you find what the crappie are responding to; sometimes slow and steady is best, other times a twitching action triggers strikes.
- For Spotted bass
When fishing for spotted bass in reservoirs, focus on points, humps, and channel bends where they often congregate to ambush prey.
