Otter creek no dinky trout

[Tim_T]

Hold overs or whatever we caught some decent trout. Different tank who knows? Trout are released when they reach 9" and we didn't catch any of those 9" "dinks". I was impressed with Otter Creek. I tend to stay away after the stockings for the reason of the abundance of the 9" trout. Never said there were small mouths. Couple of guys called them small mouths yesterday and they can call them what they want. I for one know the difference. KWFD has a "Kentucky Fish" poster that shows in color the different species of fish in our waters. After looking at it this a.m. I figured the fish in question were the rock bass not the small mouth. Both fish are on the poster. Still not sure what they were, but they were fun to catch on ultra lite tackle. Defiantly not small mouths. Two different fish. Kinda like a stripper and a white bass there is a difference between the two.

Coombro, I was not trying to argue, it was an honest question about the fish stocking. One thing though, all the trout ar not 9 inches long when stocked, there are always a few shorter and a few longer.

The lack of smallmouth was my lame attempt at sarcasm. There is pretty good smallmouth fishing in the stream, particularly in the early spring.

I too have the KDFWR fish poster. It is hanging above my desk as I type this. There is a huge difference in Strippers and stripers as well. One of them my wife is okay with and the other she disapproves of me fishing for.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I also noticed that the ones they stocked in Trammel were slightly bigger on average then normal....they were really fun a 3wt fly rod!

I have never fish for trout. What do you use for bait or should I say what is allowed at otter creek?

Didn't look at it as an argument more to me like a discussion. Hold over trout are nice and as i read some where thats where they start to get their colors as there's not much color to the stockers? Also my wife frowns if I'm chasing stripers or strippers.
