I’m shocked I didn’t think Kentucky had any trout let alone the huge rainbows you caught. I’m a fly fisherman from Utah and I’m getting transferred to Lexington with the company I work for and have been trying to find any places to trout fish and came across your post. The rivers i fish look like creeks compared to that I can wade i would need a boat to even attempt that place. Could you be so kind as to point me in the direction of where to try my luck finding some 20+ inch trout ( Browns rainbows or brooks) within driving distance of Lexington 3hours max drive.
Howdy and thanks for watching 😊 as far as bigger trout, the river in this vid is pretty much all I know that has a good population of them. Hatchery creek connects to this river, and it's man-made for trout fishing only. Google it and you'll like what you find. But bank access is all you need a lot of the time. My buddy said he caught a 30 inch trout the other day in this spot using cut dead bait on bottom. Tons of trout creeks get stocked in ky. Make sure to check the locations and schedules 😊
So on my big bait casters, I had 30 and 40 braid on penn squall reels. The sinker was a no roll, and I changed it around when the current changed. 3 to 1.5 oz. The leader on those rods was 30lb mono. And a small octopus hook. The trout rod was a 1000 sized reel on an ultralight rod. 5lb braid to 10lb flouro leader. Varied from 8th oz jig head, with or without a small split shot to get it down.
Those were some really nice rainbows! Can't help but think that'd be a nice place to bring my 12s. Put some heavy lead and cut right up against the turbines or just off the end wall

What bait worked the best
It depends on what I was targeting. Slugo worked all around. Nightcrawlers too
