You're not likely to find monster trout or trophy-class browns in these streams. These fish just grow slower and have less food sources than in big areas of habitat like those of the Cumberland tailwaters. But at the same time, you won't simply be spending time taking small trout, one after the other, elbow to elbow with 20 other guys.

You'll have to work a little harder for success and use your skills more. For many anglers, this kind of fishing is more rewarding. This is a good "middle of the road" opportunity that blends remote stream-fishing settings with good numbers of fish being available and occasionally, better trout than the typical put-and-take program provides.

For other information about this program, and contact information for district fishery offices in regions where these and other delayed-harvest streams are located, log on to www.fw.ky.gov, or call 1-800-858-1549 weekdays to request those phone numbers. The complete list of streams where trout are stocked in Kentucky can be found in the 2007 Kentucky Sport Fishing and Boating Guide, available at license vendors throughout the Commonwealth.

Anglers who intend to keep trout must carry a Kentucky trout permit in addition to a valid fishing license.

Lastly, you may want to contact the Daniel Boone National Forest offices in Morehead and London regarding access information to these streams, most of which are inside public forestlands in Kentucky.
