Dix River Trout

[BurleyDog]

Thanks

I have been giving gar a hard time with the fly rod for years. I use the streamers and the tanglemouth lures.

Maybe next time I might take a gar home to eat and see if he's got any trout in his belly. If I do this I will give a report.

I don't think you'd find any trout in the gar. My experience was that they would not hit a streamer stripped normally - at a decent pace. Instead, I had to retrieve it VERY slowly and basically right past their nose to get a strike. I would imagine most of those Dix trout would be quick enough to get away.

Man, now I'm sitting here at work daydreaming about summertime on the Dix.

I have also recently expanded my target area to include the KY River around highbridge.

You fish that much?

Seems like, based on what KDFWR says, there should be a wide variety of gamefish in that area.
