- Kentucky Afield host Chad Miles joins Brad Redmon at the newly manmade Hatchery Creek for some awesome trout fishing. Hatchery Creek is less than a year old but is already producing quality trout on a daily basis! Brad helped to build the creek and is now a guide for those looking to learn about fly fishing and catching trout in Hatchery Creek.
Hatchery Creek has become a real gem as far as I’m concerned- The banks and surrounding terrain have grown in with vegetation providing a rich habitat with many parts looking and fishing like a spring creek. This video makes HC look like a fish in a barrel situation but the pressure has made a wily bunch of the hatchery Creek trout population and they will test any competent anglers skill set..
I live in Western Ky, And have made a trip to the hatchery and it was awesome. I would love to come back and learn to fly fish!
the coolest "man made" thing ive seen....great work!!!!
Awesome video! Beautiful trout!
I just met Brad at the BUFF Fly Fishing Show in Cincinnati. Great guy!
I wish Georgia would put this kind of effort into managing trout waters. Their idea of "management" is dumping some hatchery fish in front of some bubbas so they can corn em to death
What a neat place. Nice video!
awesome vid...thanks guys!
Honestly, we need more catch release streams. let's show our support, for more catch release programs!...OOORAH!
Looks like you had a blast
Nice video. Wish the instructor would let him hold his own fish tho. 😂
Great video! Liked and subbed!
This would be a wonderful creek to use the Tenkara rods.
I thought so too and it is a really good place to use a tenkara rod. The problem is when I hooked two giant rainbows they just broke me off after a little fight. In my opinion the potential to catch bigger fish than a regular tenkara rod can handle is the reason to use a conventional fly rod for ease of landing fish. Unless you have a guy with a big ass net like the dude in the video to net for you.
Are they wild trout or are they raised and then released?
I love the idea of a man made stream can anyone point me in the right direction on how it was made please.
What is a wild trout? How long does it take for a stocked trout to become "wild"?
Ben Mangus a wild trout is what it sounds like “wild” which means it occurred naturally never from a hatchery just simply “put there by Mother Earth”
The beginning of the creek is from the Wolf Creek National Hatchery, where trout are raised and released. However, once released, trout will continue to swim back up creek to spawn, so there is a combination of "farm" trout as well as wild trout. Hope this answers your question. Trout are not native to this creek though, if that is what you are wondering.
@@jerodx100 If they release trout and they breed after release, the offspring is considered wild
What time of year was this?
Generally you don't want to set the hook so hard on a 10"in. trout you rip it's lips off.
That's true. They use to give my wife's pa a hard time cause they were trout fishing and he done a bass hookset and brought in a pair of trout lips. No joke.
I miss Tim!
Looks like you're fishing in an amusement park.
This whole fishing experience looks very contrived. I'm not saying it bad, or I would never fish there, or any kind of elitist BS, I'm just saying that it isn't quite the same -and not as great as wild fish in a wild stream- no judgment just saying. I think it is a great improvement over what was there before. I'm just that this isn't the kind of fishing that excites me.
Modern Fly Fisher the fish migrate from the river the stream creates habitats
For the fish I've fished here many of times I've cought 20 inches out of here before
It appears to be a great place to take an adult or child and teach them fly-fishing. It appears you really do not need waders or just hip boots would do. That is what makes it a fine place to go.
The only excitement I get from trout fishing is after I get them in and put a 7/0 hook in it's nostril and throw it back out. Because I know within minutes I'll have a giant largemouth. That's exciting.
Your fly rod is too heavy use aftma 2/3/4
Dominique Buskens it’s a 10ft 3 weight lol. How much lighter do you want?
Is there any natural reproduction happening in this stream?
Mike's Nature Journal yes trout are the only natural spawning species in the stream
Not my favorite kind of fishing but if you catch at least ten fish at least one will be over 20
Just like fishing in a barrel. Ready made Trout. Thats whacked.
It's a 10 pounder lol get the net
Awesome video! Check out my latest trout vids!
How come it's fly only I think that's kind of dumb
Kobe Burkhart it’s actually ‘artificial lures only’ so you’re more than welcome to bring your spinning rod..
The first little bit is any bait, then it turns to artificial so far down
it isn't fly only, it artificial lures only. Feel free to bring a spinning rod and rooster tail if you want.
Because single barbless hooks with tied flys decrease the catch and release mortality rates from the corn chuckin lure dunkin yahoos.
I feel sorry for people that have to fish for hatchery fish, it's just sad:(
All fish in the stream are there naturally, meaning they came up from the Cumberland River. You should try it sometime.
