Pools 3 & 4 Ky river

[CaptObvious]

Thanks Sweett. I've seen a many a people fish there when I'm eating at Jim's Seafood or in my boat up extremely close to the dam, when the current safely allows for it. I'm sure you would believe all the Shad and all the other minnows that hang around those rocks right below the dam. Great place for these fish to get a meal and plenty of 02 in the water. I'm really familiar with pools 3 & 4 since I lived and grew up in the area and live only a county away now. I reckon next year I will find a ramp to pool 2 or lock thru and introduce myself there. Quick question for those that have been on the Ky river in pool 3. Have you seen the skeleton of a really old boat sticking up out of the water on the left side of river going downstream in the area of steamboat holler? If you have, did you notice the type of nails that was used?

Id like to get below lock#4 and fish but does anyone know if your allowed bank access down there? Just want to know if anyone has any knowledge of that matter. I know years ago people were allowed to go but wasnt sure as things tend to change

KyKingfisher, people still somehow get down below the dam by Jims Seafood. How I don't know but every time I've been on the river in the past couple of months I have seen them fishing from there. On the other bank below the dam on the lock side, I have seen people fishing there as well. To get there you have to go thru Bellpoint and go past the lock buildings and the animal shelter. Just pass the animal shelter on the right side is a small parking lot that people park in when they fish down there. I haven't seen any no trespassing signs or heard of people getting in trouble. They build fires there and camp. It's a sandy bank. There is a sunken barge down from there.
