Fishing Lake Number 6 in Grayson County, Kentucky

• Overview

  Grayson County in Kentucky is where Lake Number 6 sits. The country round it is open valley from end to end. It covers about 24 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is a small entry by Grayson County standards. For a base, Leitchfield sits 11 miles out. Evansville is the closest city, 68 miles away. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Number 6

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Fish documented in Grayson County include bluegill, greenside darter, longear sunfish and fantail darter. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of this water rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 77°F in July and bottoms out near 32°F in January. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Caneyville Reservoir at 1.9 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on this water is worth confirming on the day.
