The best advice I can give you on cave run would be, if you go up the licking river go nice and slow until you learn it. They don't have it marked and you can do some damage going up through there. Beaver creek is marked with buoys but don't get to close to the edge I've found a few lone stumps above leatherwood. If you want to go on a weekend you are going to have to go up the river channels to get away from the pleasure boaters. I started fishing cave run last year and I'm still learning, but that's the first thing I found out.
