Keeping Them Fishin By ELLIS A Capitol Lake Fishing News
The Freedom to Fish Act blocks new access restrictions on fishing below dams at Lake Cumberland and Lake Barkley for two years. Federal lawmakers and Kentucky officials praise the move, noting economic impact and safety concerns. The measure, signed by President Obama, halts planned gates restrictions while a lasting solution is developed. Local officials credit Livingston and Lyon counties for bringing attention to the issue. Fishing below Barkley Dam alone adds about $3 million to the economy. The committee also discussed invasive species threats to Kentucky habitats.
