Since a portion of Dale Hollow lies within the state of Kentucky, the question has been asked if we would also need a Kentucky fishing license to fish that part of the lake.
Well, here is what the Dale Hollow's Official Tourism website had to say about it. It states that there is a "Reciprocal fishing agreement between Kentucky and Tennessee towards designated waters. Here's a map of the designated water. The light blue areas on the map were designated as reciprocal(mutual) waters, and a license from either state is valid. http://www.dalehollowlake.com/images...ap_04-2004.pdf -Mark |

Thanks for the info, Woody.
I have heard that the best place for us to be during early May will be towards the Obey River area. If that's true, we should have no reciprocal water problems at all. Of course, I don't know where the walleye will be biting...yet. ![]()

Here's something that's also of interest that I copied fromhttp://www.thesmallmouthguru.com/ WHERE TO FISH? With its thousands of acres of water and hundreds of acres of weeds, selecting a spot to fish at Dale Hollow can be problematic. With that in mind, Headrick, and nearly every quality guide on the lake, recommends fishing the upper portion of the middle section of the ‘Hollow from May into June. ____________________________ Walleye!?!? ![]() -Mark |

Ummmm......what exactly does "upper portion of the middle section" mean?
![]() Upper = North? or Upper = inlet creeks and rivers?

You're not kidding there, Zook. If I catch a 6lb Smallmouth, he's definitely going to take up residence on my living room wall.

The way it sounds to me is that you are allowed daily to keep one under 16", and one over 21".
No offense, but the one that I catch under 16" will be release into the skillet, and the one over 21" will be hung on my wall. -Mark |

You are telling it like it is, Mark. A 21 inch Smallmouth is fixing to make the trip back to Evansville with me.

As a matter of fact I can. My last tournament, my cousin caught a 4pounder and it measured on our board but was a sixtenth short on the "official" board. But the 6 and a half pounder i caught the cast after kind of made up for it. This year alone i have probably had to turn loose 6 or 7 smallmouth that barely didnt measure.

Thanks for the invite Gifferm09, I can't make it this time.
Lately I've been reading reports of some decent Smallies being caught back in the creek channels, using live shiners, down around 17' feet. Good Luck! -Mark |
