    Lake Barkley (alternate listing) confirms largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and white crappie as primary species. See earlier Lake Barkley entries (8233095) for full details about this famous western Kentucky TVA reservoir. Spot Features: Lake Barkley (alternate listing) is the same 58,000-acre TVA reservoir on the Cumberland River documented in earlier entries. All species, techniques, and access information from those entries apply here. Seasonality: Largemouth bass and smallmouth bass are the primary year-round sport fish at Lake Barkley, with peak activity in spring during the spawning season and in fall. White crappie are excellent in spring during the spawn. This appears to be an alternate/duplicate listing for Lake Barkley (previously documented as Spot ID 8233095/6961815).
