    salt river @ shepardsville?

    Anybody put in and fish here? Is it even worth a trip from Middletown? Mainly just targeting bass

    I fish there a good amount though I haven't been in several months. I usually do well in early spring for smallmouth and spots but once the smallies are ready to spawn the bite is gone for the rest of the year... I don't know if they move up or down river but I can't seem to catch any. I will still catch some spots and occasional largemouth but nothing great. If you go head left and fish under the bridge then keep going to the mouth of Floyd's fork. These are the best areas I have found. Good luck and let me know how you do if you go.

    Do you catch anything with any size? And how deep is it? My depth finder kicked the bucket so I'm running blind

    I have had a few that would push 3lbs but all in early spring.. Haven't caught anything with size since.. As long as you head left/upstream it's anywhere from 6-14' deep except for one spot about 50-100yrds upstream of i65 bridge. There's a sandbar that comes out from right side of river and it will be only 2-4' deep. Stay to the left and take it slow. It gets to 26' at the mouth of Floyd's.
