I don't know where you are, but here are some options.
Laurel River. I've not been there, but I have a couple buddies that do a fall trip in canoes there every year.
Cumberland River. FANTASTIC, but watch the water levels ffrom the TVA SITE.
In southern Indiana. Lots of trolling motor lakes. Hoosier Nat, John Hay, Deam, etc, etc.
I've also fished Jericho in LaGrange.......NOT bad there either.
Long Run Park in Louisville is not bad, but I have not been there in a while.
Also, also..........The Dix river. Paddle up from the KY. THAT is great fishing.
How about Lake Shelby in shelbyville. I've also been there, and it is good.
AND finally.........Floyds Fork......there are a couple good put ins along the river that are public.
I hope this helps........
Later,

I think the episode you are talking about is Licking River muskie fishing or maybe Station Camp Creek?
The above info is great! There is a book called "A canoeing and kayaking guide to KY" check it out. Good luck
If your talking about the Ky Afield where they were fishing in two homemade flat bottom wooden boats, that was Green River in Hart County. You can put in under the Green River Bridge at Thelma Stoval Park. Greens a great smallmouth, rockbass, muskie river but its not overly accessible.
Thanks guys. We are going to hit Laurel river tuesday. Fished it many of times love it. I think he is going to get that book you mentioned. I got a boat and all but its just fun to get out were not many other people venture. Good fishing to all
If you run into this guy,you might want to turn around and go home

What about fish Salt river from taylorsville lake dam west to the fort knox res.
Being in London, the Rockcastle River is really good.
Also a good trip is the Cumberland River. Put in at Williamsburg and take out at the falls. Plan on camping for the night. Or shorten it just a little bit and put in at Redbird bridge. But still plan on camping. Oh yeah, watch out for The Pitch.
Station Camp Creek in Estill Co is one I've always wanted to try thats not too far away either.
The Blue River in Indiana
Dix river is one of my favorites. The scenery alone on the trip up it is worth the effort. Fishing is great too.
