    Re: KY and IN fishing rules......

    As far as I'm aware, you can fish the banks of the Ohio on both sides of the river with either License. But if you go into any creek on any creek that is actually in the other States boundary, i.e. a creek that goes into Indiana, say the Quarry, 14 mile creek you got to have an Indiana License. If you go into Harrods creek you got to have a KY License. But all banks lining the Ohio River itself are fish-able with either License.

    Here's the reg:

    OHIO RIVER FISHING
    (KRS 150.170)
    An angler with a Kentucky fishing license may fish the entire main stem of the Ohio River from a boat, or a bordering state’s bank without buying the other state’s license (bordering states include Illinois, Indiana and Ohio). This does not apply if fishing a bordering state’s embayments or tributaries, which begin at a straight line between opposite points where the tributary or embayment meets the main stem of the river.

    That's a downloadable pdf file, worth saving.

    Good Luck!
