Fish moved from Lake at Big Bone Lick State Historic Site KY F & W team use electrofishing boats to recover fish. The technique involves applying electrical current to the water, temporarily stunning the fish so they can be netted then released alive. Largemouth bass up to 15 inches, channel catfish up to 18 inches and bluegill were recovered and relocated to 88-acre Benjy Kinman Lake in Henry County Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Gil Lawson and Dave Baker News Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet/Kentucky State Parks UNION, KY - (Tue 3 Jul 2018) - Helping save fish facing an uncertain future and improving a public fishing opportunity at the same time were all in day's work for a team of fisheries biologists and technicians with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources on Tuesday, July 3, KY. The department offered its assistance to the Kentucky Department of Parks after the recent discovery of a leaking dam at Big Bone Lick State Historic Site in Boone County. The dam, which does not appear to be in imminent danger of failing, impounds a 9-acre lake. State officials are drawing down the water level of the lake in order to determine the source of the leak and assess any damage. "We wanted to move quickly to remove and relocate as many fish as possible while the lake level was suitable for our crews to safely launch their boats into the lake," said Ron Brooks, director of Fisheries for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. About 300 fish were removed. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife crews utilized electrofishing boats to recover the fish. The technique involves applying electrical current to the water, temporarily stunning the fish so they can be netted then released alive. Largemouth bass up to 15 inches, channel catfish up to 18 inches and bluegill were recovered and relocated to 88-acre Benjy Kinman Lake in Henry County. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife stocks the lake at Big Bone Lick State Historic Site with channel catfish every other year and Big Bone Creek, downstream of the leaking dam, with rainbow trout three times each year. Signs are posted along Big Bone Creek notifying anglers of the possible danger. The lake and surrounding area, along with a picnic shelter, are closed because of the leak in the dam. The remainder of the park is open. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife will continue to evaluate the situation before determining future stocking efforts in the lake and creek.
