I haven't been in BG since the 60's where I was in college.I fly fished there and loved it.First of all,the Barren river flows through town.It is great brim water.
I remember a deadly technique was to go down a shoreline working no more than 30 ft of line with a black chennille spider with white rubber legs,letting the
bug sink within inches of the bank(if a little muddy even better.There are some springs near the Barren at beach bend(muskies use to be in this water)South of
town there is Drakes creek(muskies),Trammel creek both great smallmouth and spotted bass and panfish.Also near town was a lake called Shanty Hollow that
was full of bass,big bluegills and great shellcracker fishing.I could go on and on.It is a great place,do yourself a favour and stay there a while and enjoy it.
