Conservation

Throughout the existence of the Derby City Fly Fishing Club, we have been able to help or lead several area Conservation Projects. We have worked with Trout Unlimited to support local stocking efforts, as well as offering help to KY Department of Fish and Wildlife whenever possible.

We will update this page as new opportunities are announced.

Another way to give back to the sport is to participate in the fin clipping at the Wolf Creek Hatchery near the Wolf Creek dam on Lake Cumberland.

Taylorsville Lake Habitat Project Dec 2024

On December 3rd and 4th, 2024, a DCFF conservation team of Jeff Daiber, Bill Harrod and Johnathan Howe supported the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife (KDFW) adding fish structures in Taylorsville Lake.
These structures will help protect and grow panfish as well bass and allow fishermen to enjoy the positive effects of this work.
As cold as it was, the team left with warm thoughts of how such projects promote conservation, camaraderie, as well as improving our Commonwealth.
Special thanks to the team for representing DCFF on this worthy project — especially given the weather conditions!
