This initiative, launched in 2006, provides local fishing experiences with special regulations to enhance sustainable fishing. The program includes regular stocking of rainbow trout, channel catfish, and sunfish, ensuring a lively fishing environment, particularly in urban areas. Anglers can look forward to significant trout stockings in 2025, enhancing local fishing enjoyment.
Hello, Kentucky! If you’re a fishing enthusiast or looking for a perfect way to enjoy the outdoors, this is exciting news you won’t want to miss. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is expanding its Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINs) program, promising to put the thrill of fishing right in your backyard. Launched back in 2006, this initiative has grown to include a whopping 45 lakes across the state, giving residents plenty of spots to drop a line and catch some fish.
The FINs program is designed to offer quality fishing opportunities close to cities, making it easier for folks to enjoy this popular pastime without having to travel long distances. Most of the FINs lakes are specially stocked with colorful rainbow trout during the chillier months, ensuring that there are always fish ready to be caught.
Additionally, they regularly check the populations of sunfish (both bluegill and redear sunfish) and largemouth bass to ensure there’s enough natural reproduction happening to meet the needs of all anglers. If it turns out that there aren’t enough fish in some lakes, the KDFWR is prepared to do supplemental stockings, ensuring that everyone has the chance to reel in their catch.
KDFWR wants to make sure that fishing is enjoyable for everyone, so the regulations at FINs lakes are a bit stricter than what’s standard in the rest of the state. This helps spread out the fish harvest over time, giving fish the chance to thrive and grow. Keep in mind that using shad for bait is a no-go at FINs lakes, and any grass caught will need to be released back into the water.
If you’re wondering where to find these inviting lakes, here’s a quick guide:
The expansion of the FINs program perfectly aligns with KDFWR’s mission to enhance local fishing experiences. Kentuckians now have even more reasons to gather their fishing gear, grab some bait, and head out to enjoy the great outdoors. So get your fishing rods ready — it’s time to make some memories on the water!
