Barren River Lake has fish with your name on it, so let Barren River Outdoors help you catch it!
Depending on the season, you might hook into Crappie, Walleye, Hybrid Striped Bass, Catfish, Sauger, and whatever else takes the bait.
On the day of your trip you're likely to jig using light tackle.
Young ones are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
You'll find yourself aboard a 19' Lowe aluminum fishing boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is not allowed. There will be some light snacks available on board.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Barren River Outdoors is just a click away.

4 hour day trip
I’ve taken many fishing trips, but this by far was the best. Trent knows the spots to fish. We caught many fish and had a great time doing it. He is a lot of fun to fish with. I would recommend him 10 out of 10 times. If you want a good guide to take you fishing at Barren River, this is the guy you want taking you.

Special 3 hour trip for Angela Barak
Amazing time with Captain Trent! He’s very knowledgeable about the waters and Kentucky in general. We took our two kids under 12 and they had a great time. Pro tip: add a few extra hours to your trip bc you won’t want to come back to shore once you’re out there!
