Well to me sauger fishing = fishing at the locks, so...put in at the Steele Branch ramp off of US 127 - take US 127 North toward Owenton and follow the signs. After you launch, go upriver until you get below Lock 4.Originally Posted by FlyLie
If one is in Frankfort and desires to fish for sauger in the Kentucky river..., where would they go to (bank fish) or launch a boat and motor to (where)? Number One Grandson is VERY INTERESTED.
Thanks to all; Grandpa
If you're in that neighborhood, this is a good time of year to fish the mouth of Elkhorn Creek.
To my knowledge Lock 4 is not really known as a sauger destination but you can almost always get bit by something down there. There are some people who bank fish below Jim's Seafood at Lock 4 but it is EXTREMELY dangerous to get down there, especially if it's wet like it is. I would not do it.
Someone else might have knowledge about Lock 3 (Monterrey) and Lock 5 (Tyrone). You can get to Lock 5 by putting in at the public ramp on KY 420 near the intersection of KY 676 (E-W Connector). It's a little bit of a haul upriver.
