Highsplint Lake is a lake in Harlan County, Kentucky.
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.
Highsplint Lake sits in Harlan County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one promising area near the launch as the first place to read the opening section before committing the rest of the day. I would work one straightforward area near the launch long enough to see whether the first idea has any life in it, because a simple start makes each adjustment easier to judge.
Highsplint Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would judge the first few places I can reach while keeping the opening trip small enough to adjust easily.
Known fish for Highsplint Lake include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around the species I most want for the first half of the trip so the first few bites are easier to interpret. If bass are present in Highsplint Lake, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination as I learn the nearby water so I can tell whether depth or presentation is making the difference.
If I were seeing Highsplint Lake for the first time, I would work one manageable section of bank with only a few dependable baits and adjust depth before changing every bait and stay with a productive clue once one appears. If Highsplint Lake gives me a repeatable bite around one easy-to-read section of bank, I would stay with it long enough to understand why it worked before moving on, and I would let the rest of the lake wait until I understand that clue.
