Man Made Trout Stream Opens

Hatchery Creek is a man made stream below the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery that flows into the Cumberland River. Hundreds of people attended the grand opening and caught trout that swam upstream into the creek.

[@TomNook77]

Wish more of this would happen instead of polluting them

[@thefarguy1802]

I met John Spencer in real life at the Cabbelas Loiusville in Kentucky , thanks to him I got hooked on fly fishing , the man is a legend , wealth of knowledge , hear he is moved out , will try to find Him next time in Kentucky , thank you John,,,

[@zachwilcock6199]

I wish I could be there. Looks like an awesome fly fishing stream. I think it’s wonderful what they did there.

[@craigleith100]

Man! this has been my dream for years, if i won the lottery i would deffo buy a house with lots of land n build my own stream just like this.😀 ✌👍💙🎣

[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

TheDevilWearsPrada With far less than a million you could buy a large ranch with a natural stream already on it

[@frazzfishing9950]

And on this day nobody wet there hands 😡

[@danielwalker7327]

Fraser McAllister yeah that bothered me

[@Angelo_Music6]

Is that for only trout?

[@CastFromTheHip]

I love these sportsmen's enhancement projects..too cool.

[@Sir0blivion]

A whole mile!?! No way! J/K. Looks like a cool project, but I'll stick to my untold miles of Idaho trout streams. :)

[@hoosiergrizz2742]

There are more miles of flowing water in Kentucky than in any other state in the US, except Alaska. Yes, this includes Idaho.

[@charlieredeemed]

That old guy seems awesome!!

[@tomdaniel4795]

excellent film Will try it out this week-end

[@Roscoesadie]

Watching this from Oregon I had no clue that was trout fly fishing in Kentucky or Tennessee this is really awesome to see

[@meyerfire21]

Thank God I live in Wisconsin, the trout fishing is always good and I never saw another soul while on the rivers or streams yet. The fatter Sconnies get the less trout fishermen their will be.

[@hansel2001]

Great project. It’s been almost 10 years now since this stream opened. Is it still operating? Is there invertebrate life to feed the fish? If so, how many years did it take for the inverterbrate life to take hold?

[@DevilsAvocado69]

Lol lets build this cool thing and pressure the fish instantly

[@harleysmith3895]

yup. It actually made me cringe seeing those 10 guys casting in the same run right next to eachother.

[@coin9818]

I'm in the video fishin at the beginnin, it was a great time fishin and the last time I was down there. I wish I could go again

[@mohamedy6164]

What a Life to desire.

[@terryfredrick5149]

i think this cool , i talked with a friend of mine about more and more of fishing areas being blocked off from the general public. Areas where families could fish. Fishing is a great hobby for troubled children. Our youth are in trouble in this country and fishing is a great hobby for them and could get some out of gangs and doing something fun and also build character. I stopped at a local ponds area in my town and i had not been there in a long time, well the whole area had been bought up and was fenced off to the public. Trespassing signs up and no fishing for anyone. Well except if you own land. Just sad to see another spot where people brought there kids to enjoy fishing blocked off by big business.

[@leviwhaley3606]

awsome guys nice setup

[@williamrudelis7806]

What is the water source?

cumberland.... thats an old english name for the western lands of bernicia. I am from there. interesting name,.

[@gregoryshorts700]

This is beautiful . wow breathe taking . We as Kentuckians should be very proud to be Kentuckians right now . Any plans to build more trout streams ?! I think it would be awesome to have one in all four corners of Kentucky and central Kentucky as well

[@mcmcbg9312]

this is awesome

[@lagusso5980]

iam lucky to live in iceland :) to se so many fish one pool is scary wouldnt like to do that

Extremely good example of how NOT to do catch and release...

In shallow waters... as the water warns up in spring their bottom jaw soffens it becomes easy to lose them!

[@squamishfish]

Hope they are using Barbless hooks if doing catch and Release

[@bartomiejzakrzewski7220]

So good to see that, I wish that PZW ( Polish League of Fishing ) make sa good thing for wild nature and habitats of trouts and others predatory fish

[@lovetheoutdoors9485]

If I had the money to help our rivers and streams I would do it. I'll even donate money to fish hatchery. These fish will slowly go extinct if no one does anything about it.

[@s.c.6090]

There was a spawning stream created and reformed, and even the damn outflow used to supply the cold water has hardly any natural trout. All trout are farmed raised and won’t reproduce. They keep having to dump new trout. My information is from going to camp there the past 17 years, and asking if it has succeeded. It’s fun and they are plenty of trout to catch but it’s not self sustained by any means.

[@jdrover8581]

By catching them numerous times its just as well you kept them because of the damage is it not

[@ronkilmer8991]

after fishing that stream a lot, over the past 5 years I have watched that water go from nice fishing and easy walking, to areas so mucked up and over grown, that fly fishing is getting difficult!

[@eagleplays3028]

Iv fished that creak

[@colmturtle]

how much did this cost and would it not make more sense spending the cash on helping to clean up the pollution in existing rivers instead.

[@JunreyPuerinVlogs]

Its more fun if you put some crocodile

[@jamesshamley6577]

That’s hilarious.

[@pg9144]

didn't know Petunia Pig could fish

[@zachzarrella4679]

It saddens me that we can put all this time, money, and effort into creating our own artificial trout streams rather than trying to protect and replenish the ones that mother nature intended us to fish! Screw that! Nothing beats catching wild trout!

[@hans3331000]

billions are spent just on trying to keep asian carps from reaching the great lakes. Billions are spent on conservation efforts, don't assume the government isn't concerned with this since the media loves distorting news. Step out of your bubble and do some research.

[@johnkmcgregor5209]

Disclaimer Lots of fish were harmed in the making of this video

[@gerrykingstone984]

Pity these armatures don't have a professional to enplane what a landing net is for, and using a float? (indicator) so, so sloppy.

[@brucelach4481]

come to michigan

[@boygirlandadad5814]

bruce lach just stay outta the U.P.. There is much, much better fishing four hundred miles in any direction.

Nice new and clean. Then enter humans. Now fishing line, beer cans, water bottles and empty worm containers are soon to follow.

Nobody cares you kiwi

[@siriusFish1]

yeah your native new zealand trout right?

[@oldman9843]

brett clark These are the baby trout , in the USA ours weigh 150 lbs to 400 lbs we cast a 10 pound fly to catch them on . .... can't stand trout snobs

[@jallmyd4693]

For bass its fine to catch and release but trout don't have e mouths like bass to and it actually hurts the trout but no the bass because they have no nerves in their mouths I say trout eat what you catch bass letem go

[@toxic1698]

That's not true at all, large trout are predatory and will eat many of the same food sources bass do.

[@incrediblej.9762]

Everytime the fishermen are on camera I can’t help but to see them foaming at the mouth and wetting their pants

[@homermcclain7694]

Why abuse fish with catch and release. Im a fan of catch and eat

[@burittoyeet2747]

Homer Mcclain many people don't like eating the fish and it's just for the thrill of it. I like keeping fish but not all the time because sometimes I'm to lazy to cook the fish.

[@justinarthur3243]

When it comes to trout, I only catch and eat.

[@colbypowell6262]

Bro I do the same Keep clean eat. KCE

[@tHeAdveNTUresOfJD1]

You make your self sound stupid

[@oldman9843]

buritto yeet ever hear of freezing them ? It's a new concept , you freeze fish and eat them later .

[@shanemccoy8058]

00:28, conventional gear? Really dude?

[@leomdk939]

So? You can catch plenty of trout on spinners/spoons, so why not? Fly fishing's great, but the pretentious attitude some have isn't.

[@tonyv1179]

indicator ? you might as well use a spinning rod and bobber .

[@timparker1552]

Strike indicators are super small and weigh barely anything. Corks & floats won't catch you as many fish cause of the extra weight. Trout bite very very lightly

[@onthedry8386]

agree .... wet or dry only

[@davidbeckenbaugh9598]

First law of catch and release trout fishing, use a barbless hook. Second rule, do not remove the fish from the water. Third rule, do not touch the fish, even with a wet hand. Saw quite a few fish killed in this vid. What a shame......

[@MP-no8yy]

not true. as long as your hand is wet and they aren't out of the water for to long they will be fine

[@davidbeckenbaugh9598]

Wow! You have EVERY fish and wildlife department against that one, as well as every fisheries department in every college in the USA and Canada. Better rethink that. It's so wrong, the law in Washington state is that it is flat out illegal to remove a trout or salmon from the water if you intend to release it. $500 MINIMUM fine.

[@MP-no8yy]

well mate if they can survive 40 celsius degrees here in australia after taking a quick photo and the hands are wet they should be fine

[@thethrill0296]

david beckenbaugh well, I'm making a net, so hopefully the trout and other fish I catch stay safe.

[@davidbeckenbaugh9598]

@william.. we are required to use a knotless net so the knots do not rub the slime off the fish. While i think it is fine if the fish is in the net and the net is left in the water (just use the net to keep the fish under control), seems there is some argument on that. Personally, the problem with it is because people put the fish in the net and then pick the fish up via the net. "Making' a net? Few people do that anymore. Might be interesting....
