Thread: Peabody WMA

I've heard they stock musky in some of the lakes as well.

The only stocking I know for sure is Trout.

I hunt at Peaboy WMA a bit & have wondered about the ponds myself. There has to be some fish in them, I'm hoping there are some catfish, maybe a few turtles, & bullfrogs. I'm thinking about going out there before long to give it a try.

Let us know how you do if you do. I talked to a neighbor and that's about the only place that him and his dad fish. He said there are tons of bass, some crappie, lots of bluegill, and some catfish. I'll try to get some more information.

The Courier Journal newspaper in Louisville did a story on fishing Peabody in the Sports/Outdoor section of the paper today(4/20/08). It may help a little.

Thanks for the info Creeker, I haven't had a chance to plan my trip out west just yet, but I was thinking within the next 2-3 weeks. Very interesting article, I am more inclined to try it now after reading it. I am familiar with the area they were talking about & have hunted around the pond featured, I just didn't know it had a name, they are right about the roads for sure, it isn't too difficult to get lost if you aren't paying attention. I've hunted the RQ area for the past 2 years, so that's a plus. Hopefully I can get out there & see what they have before long. Thanks again for the information!

No problem. Good luck to you.

I haven't had a chance to go yet, & actually been researching a bit & don't know that I will go at all. I have found where fishing is only allowed in day light hours, I planned on maybe a few frogs in the mix, you have a 15 daily limit & 30 possession limit. The plan was to go for a few days 3-4, & camp, fish, blah blah blah, but I'm not so sure now. We'll see I guess.
