KDFWR Fish Stockings map

I found this map browsing the KY Dept of fish and wildlife webpage and it showing some neat things around Lexington. Wilgreen lake was stocked with 16,000+ Saugeye! Right below boonesboro dam they stock hybrids and saugeyes. I would love to catch something new like a hybrid or saugeye close to Lexington. Unfortunately this map doesn't give any information. How would I find out when these fish were stocked and if they were catchable size fish?

Robert, I doubt any "stocking" fish would be keeper size, unless they were stocked in a FINs lake.

I know they stock Taylorsville with Saugeye, because I've caught one there. (not legal keeper size, though)

Whenever I have a question about anything the KDFWR does and can't find any info on the web ... I email them - [email][email protected][/email] - and usually get a reply within 24hrs.

good stuff crappiepappie. it looks like you are correct, they are stocking the fisheries, but it will be a couple of years before they pick up

Guist Creek has hybrids & saugeye, too. My dad and I were out there catching yellow bass and caught a few hybrids and a keeper saugeye trolling flats were the bait was with road runners. This was the end of Sept...

This is good to know. What type of bait were you using?

We were using road runners tipped with a minnow-style trailer. It's a lead head with a small blade attached on the bottom side. You can get them just about anywhere & in a variety of colors and sizes. I like the 1/16 and 1/8 oz. Any plastic minner/tube you'd use to catch crappie tip to the hook. Natural colors worked the best.
