    KY river after jim beam spill

    I thought I might start fishing the KY river for sauger this winter, are the lower pools( from Frankfort to the ohio river) worth fishing after the jim beam incident or should I only fish upstream of where it happened? The lower pool's are closer to me but if the fishing has suffered I'm willing to travel a little farther

    IMO it'll be years before the river recovers from that spill.

    I’ve had good luck below the dam in Frankfort. That is if the river levels stay fishable
