KY Afield Outdoors: FINs lakes stockings began this month

By Lee McClellan

Frankfort, KY - The long train of heavy rain in 2019 has Lake Cumberland at its highest level since April 1998. Barren River Lake is 35 feet above winter pool while Rough River Lake is a little more than 30 feet above winter pool.

Late winter fishing is one of the most overlooked, but often highly productive, times of the year to catch trophy fish. This year, however, the fishing on many of the larger reservoirs along with rivers and streams will likely suffer until stable conditions return.

A Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINs) lake provides excellent fishing for trout, catfish, largemouth bass and sunfish. Kentucky boasts 44 FINs lakes in 28 counties, with many of them in or near urban areas. Those looking for a FINs lake should not have to drive far.

As of this week, more than 30 FINs lakes received trout ranging from 10 to 11 inches with the remaining lakes scheduled for trout stockings next week.
