Sutherlin Lake Fishing in Graves County, Kentucky

• Overview

  Set in Graves County, Kentucky, this is Sutherlin Lake. The land about it is rolling hill. Small at around 2 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it.

• Where to Fish on Sutherlin Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Graves County records list orangethroat darter, green sunfish, longear sunfish, yellow bullhead and bluegill among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Sutherlin Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 79°F and January near 34°F. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On Sutherlin Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Foster Pond is 1.5 miles off. For Sutherlin Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
