Thanks for the info, I assume you are using the #4 size? If so, I think I might have a couple laying around.

Just a possible observation and question...

Although stream fishing can be very hit or miss in February, I have caught some real nice fish this time of year. No numbers and I'm often shut out, but when I do catch, they are often big ones.

Also, I seem to catch more spotted bass (Ky) bass in the Elkhorn and other creeks this time of year than smallmouth. I'm wondering if they are more active in colder weather (?) I do know they frequent the rapids more than smallmouth or largemouth.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I've read before that the reason for bigger fish in these cold water months is because the larger fish have a slightly higher metabolism than the smaller ones. So while the smaller fish can survive a few days in the winter without eating the larger fish still need to feed. I too get skunked more times than not during the winter but it's almost worth it when you actually do set the hook into one and find out it's a hawg!

I got some green Zoom curlytail grubs... I heard these are good. Where is Robinson Dam [address]?

Off of Rt. 460 towards Frankfort. Its on the outside of Georgetown just past Great Crossing.

I went wading down there at the dam and below the dam a few weeks ago. I caught several largemouth and smallmouths. I think the biggest was about 3lb large.

Get on Google maps and follow 460 on Frankfort Pike down to you see Elkview Road. There is Robinson Dam at the end of the road.

I found it on Google Maps. Just curious, is that public property?

I believe so... smallwaterfishing.com admin goes there all the time!

It used to be, but the county put a public access point there.

There is parking down below the dam. You should be fine. Just stay off the road.
