Hi fellows, new member here.

I am just getting back into fishing after many years and would like to fish the tailwaters below Ky dam. It appears that the public ramp below the dam has been turned into a construction site for some time now, due to the new bridge.

Are there any public ramps on the river downstream of the dam, within reasonable distance, that a guy could use to access this part of the river?

When do the stripers start coming into the tailwaters?

Thanks in advance for your help, looking forward to talking to you guys.
