I just moved to Lexington recently but I've found a lot of my luck in Frankfort on the Elkhorn. There's a few nice spots in Georgetown on the Elkhorn as well, but typically the fishing is only worth it if you're willing to Wade or have a kayak. There's a few public Access areas in both town set off from. You can also rent a kayak from Canoe KY if you don't have one and do a float down the creek. I've caught mostly smallmouth on the Elkhorn with artificials, and I've caught bluegill, trout, freshwater drum, and rock bass on red worms and nightcrawlers. But above all the fishing, if you wade out you'll find the creek is just really gorgeous in some areas. Anyway tight lines friend.
