Taylorsville Lake-more access to open

[kentuckykingfisher]

Way to go Kentuckykingfisher! , I managed to get there Wed. evening, and found a crappie hole, but not many whites. The whites I caught were in the 9-10 inch range, and what a battle with 6 pound line. maybe there are more to come after this next rain.

Not trying to ask where people's spots are obviously but I am trying to see if I should go to the salt river or head to nolin river and try to catch some white bass?

Trying to save some gas money, any tips would be appreciated

thanks Richard

Hello, and welcome to the board. Lots of good info on here and a lot of good folks. Down on the salt river in Tville the whites were on fire but the wma is closed for turkey season so if you wanted to fish you'd have to walk. I'll be heading to nolin this weekend to chase the whites. You can start at broadford bridge and if you don't do any good there go to the bacon creek boat ramp and fish the direction towards broadford. The whites are in between there right now. Should be good fishing this weekend and next week. Any other info you want just p.m me

They have been running sporadically in the salt river for a week or so, and Nolin is starting from what I've heard, it's either, or in my opinion. Nolin seems to have more numbers of quality fish, Taylorsville has been back and forth. Again my opinion, but I think that it's just beginning .It's not a question of secret place for me, you just have to find where they are.

Yeah no doubt you have to put the time in! I have a great weekend at Bacon Creek a few years ago, white bass 12-15 inches, very fun to catch and taste good! I also had one day on the Cumberland for them, ran into em by mistake and ever since haven't caught any down there.

So the wma is closer tomorrow? Old river is closed tomorrow?

You can not drive on river road any more because of turkey season, you have to walk!

Yep, they close the Palmer gate on April 12th, opening day of spring turkey season. Still good fishing to be had right now though further up the river. Stay out of the bottoms along River road though, that's all private property and anti-trespassing is enforced by both LEO's and property owners in the area.

Any idea of another access point farther up river past river road? I had a good time down there and wouldn't mind getting into em again while nolin is slow.

Yes, there are a few places to fish upriver..........but the fishing still should be GOOD in the WMA off Palmer Road throughout May and even into June, before the weather gets hot and the flows diminish. From what I've seen, the fishing has yet to get good over there, although I've heard reports of sporadic catches of white bass.
