Grayson Lake is a reservoir in Kentucky, near Carter County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Grayson Lake is a 1,300-acre reservoir in northeastern Kentucky. Grayson reaches about 60 feet and stores roughly 118,990 acre-feet of water. Largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass share the lake with crappie, hybrid striped bass, white bass and catfish.
Current KDFWR rules use a 12- to 15-inch protective slot on largemouth and smallmouth bass. That regulation is designed to shape the size structure of the fishery rather than simply impose a minimum length.
Spinnerbaits, crankbaits and soft plastics work around shallow wood, rocky banks and points. During warmer periods, jigs, worms and deeper crankbaits become more useful on points and channel structure.
Crappie can be caught around brush and timber with small jigs and minnows. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can school around baitfish in open water, where spoons and compact swimbaits are efficient choices.
Start around one creek arm and keep the nearest channel drop in mind. If bass are shallow, work cover and points. If open-water fish begin chasing bait, keep a spoon or swimbait ready. Measure black bass carefully because of the protective slot.
