Anglers were perfecting their game Tuesday at the monthly stocking of rainbow trout in Trammel Creek in Scottsville. About 25 anglers gathered at various locations where the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department releases trout in the stream. Most were fishing at the Concord Church bridge, while others worked another bridge a mile upstream. The department releases about 3,500 to 5,000 trout in Trammel Creek the first Tuesday of each month to keep the population strong. Wayne Riley of Bowling Green has been fishing the stream since KFWD started releasing trout a dozen or so years ago. Riley watched the noon release and had caught the limit of eight fish by 2:30 p.m. on a Panther Martin spinner bait. I usually try to make it every month when they stock it, and then two or three times after that before the next stocking, Riley said. The fishing has been kind of slow today because of the high waters. Theres usually more people here, but the weathers been pretty unpredictable. Riley said he comes to Trammel because he enjoys the quietness of the stream and the fellowship of the other fisherman. Rileys friend, Paul Ford Davis, also of Bowling Green, only had two trout by 2:30 p.m., but was still throwing his Panther Martin spinner into a deep pool near some ripples. Ive had some action; theyre just a little hard to catch sometimes, Davis said. I usually have pretty good luck here. I just love to fish. Davis said he and Riley have been coming to Trammel Creek for a long time and the sound of the fast moving ripples keeps him coming back. John Snider of Scottsville was trying a different approach he was fly fishing. I fish here all times of the year. Ive caught a few fish today, but I mainly come here for the fun of it, Snider said. I try to make half the stockings every year. Snider said the peacefulness of the outdoors draws him back every time. Delbert Birgs of Fountain Run said he tries to make every stocking as he intensely watched his lure lurking in the dark, green pool. I usually have pretty good luck here, Birgs said. Its usually not too crowded and its nice to be outdoors. Rainbow trout can live only in extremely cold, spring-fed waters such as Trammel Creek and must have fast-moving current in order to survive. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife also stocked Three Springs Lake and the tailwaters of Barren River Lake on Tuesday.
