The river can be a truly world class fishery for trout that we can or could have here close to our backyard. The 1980's proved that we can if wanted a trophy fishery for stripers in the lake and that could be done. The trout cannot do the same thing in the lake but can in the river. Saltwater fish above the dam and below it, give the trout at least the venue where they will do the best from the situation that the dam presents in the tailrace and let the saltwater (ocean) fish do their thing in the lake like they have proven to do in the past. Or better yet fish for them where they are native where they get bigger. I see no need for kentucky trout anglers to have to pay to fish for them and their money go for striper food for a fish that could be managed in the lake. If so, a striper stamp should be in order and everyone that likes to catch stripers in the river should be taxed about double what we pay for a trout stamp. Sounds fair to me,then we could stock more trout.Just my opinion. I must be an idiot.
