I did a little reading about Fishpond Lake and quickly discovered that fishermen love it. Men and women who enjoy fishing count this lake among their favorites.
Fishpond Lake, which was built in 1964, is located approximately 2.5 miles southwest of Jenkins off U.S. 119.
Here’s a little information from Anglerweb:
Fishpond Lake is a deep, clear mountain lake near Payne Gap in Letcher County. The lake receives 6,000 trout annually from stockings in January, April, May and October.
Fishpond has plenty of room to bank fish a blacktop road goes around the entire lake. Camping facilities are available.
Facilities include a launching ramp, picnic area, basketball court, and tennis court. No swimming is allowed.
Species present in the lake include rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, warmouth, black crappie, and brown bullhead.
Thanks so much to Wanda for sharing her beautiful pictures with Genuine Kentucky. See more of her wonderful Kentucky pictures at WL Whitehead Snapshots.
Thank you so much for featuring my photos on your blog. I encourage anyone who enjoys the mountains to visit Letcher County! So many beautiful and wondrous sites and activities to enjoy.
Wanda, Thanks so much again for sharing the pics! One of our favorite state parks is gorgeous Pine Mountain – the next time we’re in that beautiful part of Kentucky, we will definitely branch out and see more of the region. I can’t wait to see Fishpond Lake in person. – Joi
