    New Salt River ramp in Shepherdsville

    Just found a new ramp behind paraquet springs conference center. I have went by the last two nights and it was packed with boats both times. Some real nice boats that I wouldnt think you would put into the salt river. Isnt it to shallow? I am curious about the ramp if there are any fees, and if people are catching any fish. Thanks.

    You can run a good sized boat from the ramp all the way up to the river bottoms before it gets to shallow. You cannot go very far downstream of the ramp.

    I live acorss the river from the ramp and if I was you guys I wouldn't waste my time fishing it. It is just not any good! :-)

    I heard the ramp fee is $3. Don't quote me on that though.

    This is where I want to say it is $15 but I cannot do it with a straight face. There is no fee to launch, as of now.

    fished the salt for the first time in about 8 yrs caught 5lb channel cat and a white bass water was dropping, about 54 deg, saw about 5 boats on the river that day more traffic than I would have guessed ran about 5 or 6 miles of the river, has changed alot since last time I ran it, if you go, go slow alot of under water wood.

    Thanks!! I have waded the salt a few times down from the 44 bridge where it is shallow and have caught 8 different species of fish with some really good smallmouth. I can't wait to put my bout in and see how it is down the river. thanks for the responses and I will post when I go. Ohh and I looked at the KDFW website and there is no fee.

    Did this rain bring Salt river up to much to safely launch a boat today? Was thinking about going for a few hours this afternoon.
    Thanks
