Thank Goodness I Fly Fish – Hatchery Creek KY

Fly fishing enthusiasts, prepare for the adventure of a lifetime at Hatchery Creek, KY!

Join your expert guide, Mark Lamberth, for a full-day fly fishing trip, walking and wading for up to 2 guests, where you’ll experience the beauty and excitement of this world-class fishery. He’s taken Rainbow and Brown Trout at Hatchery Creek, which are only rivaled by streams out west. He’s taken more 20+ inch trophy fish on this creek than he has out west and seen much larger. He set a personal best in late February by catching 89 fish in one day!

As your guide, he has an impressive 5 decades of fly fishing, having been fishing in 42 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. He’s been guiding for almost 3 decades and teaching for 2 plus decades. He has fished for Trout all over the western states, chased Tarpon in the Keys, and caught salmon in Michigan, and Redfish in Louisiana, to name a few. Fun fact, Capt. Mark has caught Catfish and Carp on a fly rod!

Located in the heart of South-Central Kentucky near Jamestown, KY, Hatchery Creek is a man-made cold-water fishery that maintains a steady temperature year-round and is regularly stocked with Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout, offering you a unique and challenging fly-fishing experience.

Your guide will give you the knowledge you need for a successful day on the water. He will take you to the best fishing spots and teach you the techniques to catch trophy-sized Trout. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, he will tailor the trip to your skill level to ensure an enjoyable and memorable experience. These trips are typically catch-and-release. For more details, you may message the captain.

I've been fly fishing for almost 50 years. I've fished all over the USA for almost all species. I was employed by Orvis for five years in the fly shop in Sevierville, TN. I currently teach fly fishing classes for the US Fish and Wildlife Services. I started fly fishing at 16 and have not fished with anything else the entire time. I only use Orvis gear with a few Hardy fly reels. I've been a guide for almost three decades and I am a fully licensed guide.
