Hit and miss really, but I've caught a ton of different species out of it. I love it because you never know what you've hooked into. I've seen a Muskie surface once in that stretch, although I had run way up in the river toward the Kenton/Campbell Co. line when I saw it but they are there.

Ton's of flathead catfish if that's your jam.

My only feedback is with the narrow/steep banks it's not fun to fish when it's up much. It gets some ridiculous drift running through it and a heck of a current. I fish the Ohio quite a bit while it's up, but don't mess with the Licking anymore.
