wade fishing near louisville?

[Col Forbin]

Another vote for Canoe Ky. I have done that trip numerous times. The kayaks are fun - they are recreational Kayaks, so it doesn't require the skill of a typical kayak.

As for depth, it varies. There are stretches that are great to wade. I used to wade around the georgetown area, but there are some great long stretches around franfort - right off the main road that runs from Georgetown to Frankfort (I believe it is 460). Small spinners, grubs, shakey head w/tiny paca craw (I never used this - it wasn't too popular when I lived there, but I bet it would be a hot one). Or my favorite was fly fishing with poppers, crawfish, and helgramite immatations.

What I would do is buy a Kentucky Atlas and Gazetteer. It has all the streams, and creeks listed with species of fish that are present. One of my friends and I would find one, and travel to a different creek or stream every weekend. But we went to some I have never heard of. Sometimes it would work out, and sometimes it wouldn't, but it was always an adventure and fun.

That sounds like a great resource. I'll have to pick up.

Thanks!

Great advice. Who doesn't like wading anyway...ultralight tackle and multi species. I love drop shot'n those pools. That is so money!

Anyone been by Breshear's or Floyds Fork Creek lately that can give me a report on the water color and if the creeks are rolling mud or lookin good.

Hit Brashears this afternoon. It looked great but spots last year that was knee deep was mid-thigh deep today. That doesn't deter me however and had a great time. I didn't see a lot of crawfish and that probably explains why I caught no smallmouth as I was using a rebel wee-craw. However it did yield quite a few slightly smaller than hand size pumpkinseeds. I wish I had more time for smallies but it started to turn into the local swimming hole with about 20 folks close by so I packed it up and left. After the Holiday I'll go back and change up strategy and it should definitely be on. The stretch I started going to since last year was the best I have seen it look. It's gettin' about that time.
