Fishing

If it's great fishing you're looking for, you're going to find it here at Sunset Marina on Dale Hollow Lake. With the world record and the top 3 smallmouth bass under it's belt, Dale HollowLake is one of the greatest fishing lakes in the country. This large pristine reservoir has also produced such prizes as crappie, bluegill, catfish, walleye, muskie, largemouth bass, and Kentucky bass. Sunset Marina and Resort is located on the lake's main tributary, the Obey River, which is known for some of the lake's best fishing. Sunset's Full Service Marina has all you need for a great day of fishing. We offer live bait and tackle, license and much more. Enjoy Dale Hollow's productive spring and fall fishing from aboard a luxury houseboat, or take advantage of our covered boat slips during your stay at one of our rustic lakeshore cottages. Be sure to check out our events page for information about upcoming fishing tournaments.
