But when I was leaving, I got to thinking, do I need a Indiana license to fish off the shore off the boat ramp? I didnt even THINK of that! And also, I saw some shore fishermen on the KY side fishing against the side of the dam. Is there public access there or is it only for those select few the dam lets in?

No problem on the license. You can fish in the Ohio with either a Kentucky or Indiana license, no matter which side you're standing on. Just don't go up in the creeks on the Indiana side, and you're fine. As to the fisherman on the KY side, I wonder if they were really on that island that JFW was talking about in his post about "McAlpine Courtesy?"

There is no access to the KY side shore (island) but there is almost always fishermen who tie their boats up and fish from the bank. Saw a couple who had rowed over in a rubber raft the other day! Whatever it takes!
