I would think that at certain depths in Kentucky lake it might actually be cold enough to keep them alive this time of year if someone happened to toss some in.
I caught a 14 inch Trout on Kentucky Lake Friday. I have witnesses and showed it to a Game Warden who scratched his head. All of this and I did not take a pic.bangheadbanghead 25 ft of water on a Bandit crank bait.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

The important thing is....did you have a trout stamp?
Secretary of Da Fish!
Was Natural Light involved in this?
FISH-ON!!!!!
Some of the tributaries are stocked this time of year with trout. Also their is a trout farm in Bucksnort. Easily could have flushed downstream.
Hurricane creek has been stocked annually for many years now. It dumps into TN river around Danville. I understand folks wade in the mouth of HC and throw spinners trying to catch them...I did investigate this from the river one summer but WAY too shallow.
I doesn't seem inconceivable that one (or more) could survive between Danville and Paris Landing especially rainbows as I understand they can tolerate warmer and 'murkier' water.
Sombody's smallmouth bait from back in the winter,would be my guess???
