Whether you enjoy fly fishing or bait casting, we believe you will agree with our past guests that fishing at Trophy Country is as good as it gets. Approximately 800 acres of strip-mine lakes are comprised of over 100 different bodies of quality water and habitat. These bodies of water have now been stocked for over 30 years. The largest is approximately 250 acres in size, and there are many 30 and 40 acre structures. The development of these bodies of water through mining has created lakes with literally hundreds of miles of irregular-shaped shoreline. Some of the lakes have depths exceeding 100 feet. The many interspersed islands create a wide diversity of depth and clarity of water. These diverse bodies of water vary greatly in temperature and pH. Many are large enough to enjoy the use of boats, while others are just right for fishing from the bank or a float tube. The water is cold and the fish are real fighters. The huge population of Largemouth Bass frequently produce fish in the 8 to 10 pound range. The potential for a trophy is there every time you throw your line in these waters. There are Kentucky spotted bass of national record size. Crappie, Bluegill, Green Sunfish, Walleye and Northern Pike are also prevalent and sporting due to their size and aggressiveness. There are a few bodies of water that jug fishing for catfish, and bow hunting for carp also provide a good sport.
Another great catch at Trophy Country. |

We feature 16' Triton aluminum bass boats with padded pedestal swivel seats, powered by 40 lb thrust MinnKota electric motors. |
| In 1997, we introduced Walleyes
into two lakes. In 1999, Northern Pike were also stocked. Future plans
call for introduction of Smallmouth Bass, Trout, Saugar, Muskies, and
Hybrid Stripers.
We practice catch and release, but have options that include taking certain fish for eating. We do not use chemicals for cropping, so fish are not subjected to foreign substances. We can accommodate your needs for boats, trolling motors, lodging, and meals. We will be happy to give you quotes on fishing, or combinations with other Trophy Country activities. |

Great Fishing Day!
|
First day of spring fishing can
always be a little hit and miss, but not at Trophy Country. On April 8th,
our first outing of the year, we went to Trophy Country's "Trails End Pit".
Conditions were less than favorable with 30 to 40 mile winds, but sunny and
warm. We fished from 3:00pm to 6:30pm. We caught 3 bass weighing 6, 5-1/2,
and 5 lbs., and at least 4 in the 4 lb. range and over 35 bass in the
15-inch range. As a bonus, we caught 4 nice crappie including an 17 incher
on a lizard! We can't imagine fishing it all day in good conditions, but
there are no bad days at Trophy Country!

Fantastic Vacation!
|
My vacation time at Trophy Country
was one of the finest experiences I've had in many years. The property was
both beautiful and quietly restful, and the fishing was as good as it gets.
Indeed, I've told my fishing buddies back here that I've never had better
fishing anywhere anytime. John Sullivan - Lexington, Kentucky |

I would like to thank you for one of the best day's of fishing I have ever had. I have been all over the US fishing on different Military deployments and I have had greats days of fishing but nothing compares to the day we had at Trophy Country. We caught so many large bass(over 5lbs) with the biggest one over 9lbs it was truly one day I will never forget.Thanks, Joe Steimann |
