    There are no fish in these lakes.
    Both should be hot as a firecracker, just flip a coin.

    I would do Barkley because you have USA Bassin out of the dam 260 boats. You have BFL out of Moor's 150 boats.

    I would go to KY and put in at New Johnsonville and fish down there. Or Barkley and put in at Dover...Helluva long ways from either of those 2 T's especially if the winds blowin' like it probably will be.

    Re: KY/Barkley bass fishing (Fiddlefarter)

    We was thinking about south Barkley, or KY Lake below Paris, right now still not sure which one. Buddy knows a couple guys fishing the Salmoniods Classic there yesturday and today so we are going to try to get a fishing report from them.
    What are the productive patterns right now on both? Shallow, deep, sb, cb, jigs, brush, weeds, flats, or what?

    South Barkley USA Bassin Classic out of Ky Dam, and BFL out of Moors, North sides of both lakes will be crowded.

    I would fish South KY. I hear south barkley has not been near as good lately. The Thursday night big fish tourney last night had a big fish of only 3.2 with some good sticks including Ramey Colson fishing it. Murray bass club had a Tourney out of dover lat weekend and they stunk it up. The Guys I know from Dover have been whining about the fishing on far south Barkleythis spring.

    Disclamier. I have not been on south Barkley myself.
