This was my 2nd ever trip to Hatchery Creek at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery near Lake Cumberland. The fishing was tough, but a few fish made it more than worth my while. Fly fishing in February can be tough, however it is well worth the trip!
Date Fished : February 21st, 2024

Nice fishing day.

Try a hopper dropper or oros indicator so you can see more strikes. I’m in western Kentucky, and we get a lot of the same hatchery fish, and they eat bright nymphs like it’s their last meal.

February Hatchery Creek is winding down. Especially with this warmer weather we have. I wouldn’t recommend fishing in the summer. The carpet grass makes the creek virtually unfishable. I’m one of the few that fishing here using a spinning rod and I’m constantly putting the hurt on them. Always have 1 18+” and several nice ones.

I don’t remember exactly when I went last time but it was completely grassed up. It’s awesome you do well down there, it’s humbled me the few times I’ve been

Good video,glad yall had some luck.👊👍 I fished down there about 3 weeks ago and caught several. The creek fishes better when it's up & slightly stained. #12 & #14 pheasant tails, hairs ear nymphs,scuds,rainbow warriors & #18 zebra midges. When it's really up & somewhat muddy,drifting streamers works really well. The warmer it gets the algae is a big problem and fishing sucks. Probably one of the best campgrounds(Kendal) in Ky if you want to stay multiple days.

I really appreciate the tips! It’s a bit of a haul for us so it’s kind of a when we have the time situation, but getting my first fish out of there has me wanting to go back a lot more often

@robertwestphal7443 6 месяцев назад

Love your channel. I am in Corbin area. I fish there frequently. Great to see Hatchery.

@606OnTheFly 6 месяцев назад

I appreciate that! I don’t get a ton of opportunities to get out that way, but every time I do I gain a little bit of confidence fishing it

That’s awesome man!

It was good to meet you down there, I’m glad you all had some luck.

@606OnTheFly 6 месяцев назад

It was good to meet you too, I was thinking yesterday as I left I didn’t even get your name. I’m hoping to make coming down there a more frequent thing. You’ll have to show me how to actually fish that creek

Thank you for videos I’m in Kentucky being wanting to go down . When is the best time for trout out here.

@606OnTheFly Месяц назад

Best time is after stockings in the spring and fall. Cumberland seems to always produce

@ricklopez3733 Месяц назад

@@606OnTheFly appreciate your reply thanks . I’m going to need to beef up my gear . Think I heard you say you use 8-10 lb fluorocarbon . I have 4 lb and a lot of trout gear .

@jeff5101 6 месяцев назад

Any idea on the plumbing of that river? kW, lift, GPM.... Never seen something like this.

@606OnTheFly 6 месяцев назад

I honestly don’t know too much about it. I know it’s basically the outflow for the water the hatchery uses for Cumberland. Kentucky Afield did a video on it when they built it in 2016 or so I’ll try to find it

@standingbear998 3 месяца назад

what some people consider fishing skills? fishing in a barrell

@606OnTheFly 3 месяца назад

Not an easy creek to fish. The top section is easier. To each their own. Public water.

@photopersonal9491 Месяц назад

I view this creek more like a golf course. lol. For me I live very close to here and have to either fish the tailwater there, travel a few hours away, or not fish. It’s good to practice and not get rusty between trips. Also even though they’ll eat anything I do like to test out experimental flies I tie up. It’s good to have it. I’ll probably teach my kids how to fly fish here. A resource yah know?

@606OnTheFly Месяц назад

@@photopersonal9491 a good way to look at it. It’s a long haul for me, just neat learning a new place to fish
