Wolf creek Dam general tips.
Hi, I recently moved from Florida about 3 months ago to Lexington and have been fishing the local waters very frequently. I suspect the water levels at the Elkhorn are still going to be too high to be fishable by this coming weekend so I was hoping to head to Jamestown and fish under the Dam as the water is more controlled. We've fished the hatchery before but found it to be underwhelming, and regretted not just fishing the Cumberland Tailwaters.
I was just wondering what the general preferred baits are (I suspect we'll mostly be catching trout)on spinning reels. I was also very interested in the other species the area below has to offer but I was hoping I could get a little insight as to what other fish could be there and what typically works with them.
My girlfriend is in grad school and I work quite a bit so we don't get much time to venture out. I want to make the best of the weekend as we don't get them very often. Also if there are suggestions for waters that are a bit closer to Lexington that offer a similar view/open area for fishing I am more than open to them, but we have no issue with travelling the two hours that it takes to get to Wolf Creek.
Also we will be bank fishing, if that helps that all.
