Image it. No personal watercraft. No jet-driven pleasure boats. No skiing or houseboats. Just pure, unadulterated fishing territory wherever you go. Talk about a unique and desirable approach to creating what most of us would consider an angling utopia!

Just a dream right. Not anymore not since the impoundment of a new 784 acre lake property named Cedar Creek Lake. During the preparations of Cedar Creek Lake, it was decided to leave al trees and bush to provide a habitat for the lake's many species of fish. In areas without trees and bush, cement filled buckets with arrays of 5-foot long wooden sticks protruding out, packaging tarps, anchored downed trees, and other various fish habitat improvement structures were placed to fill in these bald area. Sounds great doesn't it. Wait it get better. The KDFWR(Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources) thought of everything when they built this one. To build this lake they dammed what was known to locals as Cedar Creek, hence the name with this came one of the largemouth's favorite meals, crawfish. Along with the other species of fish stocked including bluegill, shell cracker, and crappie makes this a smorgasbord of sorts. Numerous areas of the lake have been artificially enhanced not only for fishing cover, but also with spawning and feeding in mind. So lets recount what we have went over. There are three main ingredients required to make a body of water a trophy bass lake. Cover, check. Forage, check. A safe place to spawn, check. Like I said before they thought of everything. And with a one fish 20-inch minimum on largemouth it ensures there will be plenty to go around.

This lake isn't being managed like an average bass fishery might be elsewhere. The KDFWR is hoping for "GOLD" in this event, and from the first day of preparation, the goal has always been different , one that would help fulfill a bass angler's dreams of what a quality fishing environment and experience would be. If you are like most bass angler's and don't mind practicing great catch and release. Then this is the spot for you.
