I live and work in Jefferson County. Near my office building, in the middle of an office park, is a pond -- pretty good size, about 2 acres, I think, maybe more. A few years ago I asked a lady at a...
I have looked at that lake admiringly every time I have driven past it. However, I have assumed that it is all private property.
Thanks, MagikSmallie, and everyone else who has commented.
Your comment about creek bottoms is similar to my way of thinking on it. The natural processes are the same, so the same principles must apply, right? The biggest difference is scale.
I bet...
Here’s a question that I’m having a hard time getting an answer to. What is the single deepest spot on the Ohio River? When I Google it, I get answers of 55 feet, 85 feet, and 130 feet…though they...

The video is pretty cool.
Took me a little while to find a news story:

I suppose this is sort of small...even in fairly dry times like now, I bet a thousand gallons...
A week or two ago I hear a news story about a few thousand gallons of untreated sewage being pumped into Broad Run, a Floyds Fork tributary, because of malfunctioning equipment at an MSD plant. It...
This is really disgusting:

It's one thing to sort of know it happens, but it's another to read a rather graphic news...
I haven't fished there in about 25 years. I used to go over with friends to catch little bluegill. I still see people fishing there all the time, but I don't know what it gets stocked with or how...
I suspect that you are misinterpreting what the writer meant. I think when he said people use the name "water moccasin" incorrectly, he wasn't saying that's not a proper name for a cottonmouth, but...
Good luck and keep cool! Let the forum know what you land!
Yeah...the runoff of fetilizer and pesticides from farms can be bad, but I'm not sure it compares to all the stuff from ultra-green lawns, plus motor oil and whatnot, that comes out of a typica...
I have learned that when I put my poles in the back of the car, or in the trunk, to either drive to a different spot or to leave for the day, to use these four steps to keep from snapping off the tip...
It seems to me that there really aren’t many bodies of water (from small streams up to larger lakes) that don’t have notable pollution problems.
I guess the severity of the problem goes to...
Thanks! And that sounds like it might also be really good on the grill...perhaps with a little cayenne...
Thanks, I really appreciate everyone's comments, especially:
...because I'm not sure I would have seriously considered it, but really, that's a good thought, and if I end up fishing there I'll...
Thanks, Hurrican Bob. Here are some bird's eye views from the internet; I hope this helps.

I might have the opportunity this summer to do some fishing from some private property in Prospect, on the Ohio River. I don’t have a boat, so access to a generally unfished piece of property with...
I've also read that immediately cooling them down, if it's not already cold weather, is important to keep the flavor mild.
"Oh, is this music bothering you? Well, if you're close enough to be annoyed by my German industrial music, then you're probably just too close to begin with."
I'm more in agreement with Brandon's approach; the world needs more patience than it does anger, and if you happen to get on friendly speaking terms with someone, it's much more likely you'll be able...
This is awesome.
Hey all,
I'm thinking that in mid-August I might try something I haven't done in about 15 years, and that's night-fishing for catfish.
Every year around August 13 I try to get out to watch...
This spot is only about 15 minutes from my house; thank you very much for mentioning it. Do you think there are catfish around the bridge?
OK, this is a story related by a co-worker about a friend of his, so I can't vouch for veracity...but it's still pretty funny.
These guys were in a boat fishing on a lake. One of them gets his...
I've been researching this myself, but unfortunately I never have time to fish, so what I've learned has not yet been put into practice.
If you do a forum search on "floyd's fork" you'll see a...
What's the best lure for trolling? Is that the best manner of fishing when things get boring?
I watched that first episode of "Love in the Wild" a couple of weeks ago, and they couples were travelling down the tropical river using logs lashed together with rope. I bet I could do that for...
Getting some catfish ought to be easy right now; just open up a cooler full of ice next to a body of water, and they'll probably just jump in and say "Thanks!"
Makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it!
Has anyone here had any luck using Japanese beetles or the similar, but larger, green June beetles ("June bugs"), as live bait?
There's not much talk about using them on the internet, and I've...
While I suppose it's possible that someone in authority within the organization, if they saw you, could try to kick you out, it just doesn't seem likely since their stated goal is to acquire those...
Thank you all for the information...I'm glad I didn't make any assumptions. And yeah, I'm glad that there has recently become a lot more public access to the banks!
I?ve become interested infishing, hiking and wading along Floyds Fork here in Jefferson County, but I concerned about trespassing and getting landowner permission.
As I understand it, as long as...
I took my 6-yr-old and my 5-yr-old daughters fishing for the first time on Saturday. We all had fun, but it was short lived...they had been up very late the night before at their aunt's house, and...
I have the same questions, and also wonder about hook size...
...or better yet, have a friend take a lot of photos of you as you try to catch one. Could be an interesting spectacle...:D
Be careful! And I hope you don't kill it...I'm no fan of cottonmouths,...
I used to fish out there years ago (in the 90s). I caught a few keeper-size catfish, and suddenly started catching lots and lots of yellow bass. Those little guys were everywhere, but never caught...
Thank you all for your responses...now I know not to expect to be able to fish from the front flap of my tent!
Hi all,
I camped out with my wife and daughters at Mammoth Cave this past weekend, and we had a good time despite the nearly continuous rain. We never made it out fishing, however.
I talked...
I tried fishing from Shippingport Island for a few hours on Friday night.
This is only my second fishing trip in 7 years, just getting back into because the bug bit me, so I don't have much of...
Thanks for the report!
"I want to sit on the front porch for six hours, look at the trees, maybe tie a few knots. That OK with you, hon?"
"Well, if you're gonna do that, you should at least...
Did you end up going? I'd like to hear!
I'd love to search for arrow heads, but I don't know anyone with the property!
During that last flood in March, one of the TV meteorologists had himself photographed with catfish he caught in a...
