Kentucky River

[MJ]

Has anyone had any luck on the river? I was thinking of putting in at clay's ferry or the next pool down the silver creek and paint lick creek run in. Just wondering if it's worth fishing. I need to start trying to fish closer to home with the expensive gas prices.

Not sure about that pool, but the Frankfort pool has been really good the last 4-5 weeks. Probably starting to slow down now a bit. Here's what my river buddies say:

--any jig color as long as it's blue
--any buzzbait color as long as it's chartruese
--any worm color as long as it's red shad

White or bubblegum trick worms are also catching some fish.

The Lawrenceburg pool has also been gd. the last few weekends.Getting some nice ky.'s and a mix of everything else, mostly with black and blue jigs on the timber for us. Going back sunday morning.

I live in Richmond so those 2 are closest to my house but I haven't been on the river in several years. There are 2 nice creeks in those areas to go up in though.

I have been having one of my best years on the river and have been concentrating around Cummins Ferry Road boat dock. Plenty of bass, a 3.5 # smallmouth and many good size Lmouth on small crankbaits and throw in some nice whites and big drum to boot. Things are slowing down a bit as the water climbs, but the topwater bite should commence early and late. Like the other post said-buzzbait any color as long as it is chartreuse!!!
