Update: I was down to the river the other day and it appears that the post that was blocking the ramp is now gone. ???

Congrats, nice fish, I'm envious (actually it makes me wanna go fishin).

I wished I was kidding; I took my boat out of the water (on the Clark side) around the first week of October and the ramp on the Madison side was still open then, although there had been some...

.....I just viewed it for myself a few minutes ago; access to the KY River from the Madison County side via 977 (College Hill Ramp) is no longer available; there's a steel post sunk in the ground...

Yes; at the center of the universe, Trapp, USA.

This is the ramp on the Madison side:

Ky Dept of Fish and Wildlife - Access Site Info
(and they’re wrong, it is paved)

The dock on the Clark Side is located at Merritt:

You never caused any confusion; you've caused some clarification; it got my curiosity up and I googled it, and lo and hehold, College Hill is indeed located right on 977, which dead ends at the...

Thanks again Huck. I've never tried a stinger hook before but it's something that I intend to include into my arsenal. The only problem I see with inserting the stinger into the baitfish is that I...

Dumb question Huck; do you insert the stinger into the bait or let hang/lay next to it?

Thank you chmee.

Well, it's not a ramp, it's where a road dead ends into the river. Take a Sunday drive without the boat and check it out first (word to the wise).



Is College Hill ramp the name this is known...

Was the stinger a J hook or treble?

We call them creek perch up here and you most certainly are correct, they are tenacious fighters; love to catch them on flyrod, love to eat them too, though small they are absolutely delicious.

I...

Hey Huck, nice mess of fish; do I see a Striper and a Spotted Bass in amongst all the sauger there?

Teq, take Hwy 52 to Waco, turn north onto 977 and follow it until it dead ends at the KY River (used to be a ferry here, it was lost in the flood of 78'). This is directly accross from the mouth of...

Well, sorry, I got interested in the brine shrimp and forgot to share the lures we like; Rod & reeling we use the beetle spins (generic for jig spinners, mostly the smallest ones) alot, weighted as...

We have them in this pool here on the KY River and I've caught several in the past in the dam tailwaters. I know a couple of guys who target them and it's in the coldest, most miserable nasty weather...

Hello chmee; do you mind to expound a little on the brine shrimp? Are they fresh, frozen, dried? Where do you get them? Do they stay on the hook well?

FYI, I'm always interested in a portable...

Thanks pappy. I learned something.

Thank you for commenting Teq. I live in Clark county and dock at Red River which is 10 river miles below lock 11 (at Fox) and 14 river miles above lock 10 (Boonesborough). This pool is the second...

Pappy, teach me something here please. Are White Crappie more prolific than Black? Whites are what we have here in the KY River, I've never seen a Black come out of here. Just trying to learn more...

Anyone here catch many crappie on the KY River in the Fayette, Clark, Madison, and Estill County area? If so, would you care to share with a newbie when, where, how you go about finding them?

Just...

Kentucky River between Lock & Dams 10 & 11.

Largemouth, Smallmouth & Kentucky Bass, White Bass & Hybrid Stripers, Flathead & Channel Cats, Crappie (when I can find them), and Bream (fly rod &...

Hello and welcome from Clark County; I just joined today.
I fish the KY River because it's close (1.5 miles) to the house.

Thanks for the info pappy, I'll do just that; And thanks to all of you for the warm welcome. I already know I'm gonna like it here.

......and kinda sorta introducing myself. I live close to and fish the KY River; pool between locks 10 & 11. This is a great site and I have much to learn about catching crappie on the pool I fish...
