Has anybody ever fished the Salt river in Shepherdsville by the 61 bridge. I have seen a few people fishing there as I drive by and wonder if it is worth me giving it a shot. I know that it is wadable, is it deep enough to put a little boat on? any info is appreciated.
There is a ramp at the KOA campground, left at first sheperdsville exit off 65 down @ 1.5 mile, where you can launch a small boat. I think they charge $8 a car load. We have caught lots of catfish, rockbass, and sauger there. I would try a small red or crawfish color rattle trap.
Thanks for the info. How deep is it at the campground because I know that it is only about knee deep at the 61 bridge, and I would be afraid to bottom out.
Me and the wife decided to just wade the river at the 61 bridge sunday, and to my surprise we caught about 20 fish in 2 hours. We caught smallies, stripers, sauger, and some bluegills. Had a ball, we were just throwing some twister tail jigs. Nothing big but a great midday trip, before the rain.
Did you catch any quality smallies? Was it good wading?
