I have been tearing up the trout up there for the last two weeks. Even with the muddy water, a worm still works just fine.:)
Hi Newt,
Thanks for the report. I never would have realized they stocked the catfish this early,but I checked the fish & wildlife website-they syocked Monday-1000 cats.You can see the stocking dates at fw.ky.gov/-where to fish-FINS (FISHING IN NEIGHBORHOODS).

Thanks KVONN. I was trying to find a site that gave all the stock dates. Good luck out there man.
Since the limit is 4 I hope ypu didn't keep 15. KDFWR officers were giving out tickets left and right today. Ha, ha. I love seeing lawbreakers caught.[QUOTE=newt;443932]I caught 15 channel cats and 2 trout today. some of the cats were in the 15-16 inch range. 15 ft off the bank in 2 ft of water using a slip bobber. caught then on berkley gulp biodegradable redworms.[/QUOTE]

+Rep on the website post. Thanks man for the great info.
I heard the limit was 5 for cats and trout. There have been game wardens there both days. You wont catch me breaking any rules. went back yesterday and caught my limit on trout but no cats this time.
I checked the KDFWR website and you were right. This goes for all FINS lakes. You must possess a Trout stamp to keep trout. You can fish for them with a standard fishing license but you must have a Trout stamp to keep them.
DAILY LIMIT
Trout - 5
Channel/Blue Cats - 4
Bass - 1 over 15 inches
Bluegill/Panfish - 15
Thanks for giving me a heads up man. Dont wanna get busted on 1 extra cat. They are out watchin. Thats for sure.
