There is no more trash in the water than there is on Lake Cumberland, Barren River Or any other lake at some times. Spring ESPECIALLY. From what I hear the only damage this weekend to a boat occurred when Kevin's boat swung in the current and bent the boat bumper on his trailer.. Any one else lose a lower unit? Jim Dicken
I've lost 2 props and a lower unit on the river before. Another buddy of mine lost a prop and lower unit. Yet another buddy almost burned up his powerhead because the lower unit sucked a tampon into the water intake.

Yes, the lakes around the state have trash for a few weeks in the spring. The river has it year round.

You may call it "nonsense", but how much money has trash in the water of the river cost you before? It's cost me and others that I know several thousand dollars. A new prop costs about $600. Lower units can run two grand. What kind of dollar value do you put on tampons being sucked into water intakes?
