Just call them before you make the drive down there, they will tell you how much water they are running and they will tell you if there has been any boats down there fishing. To get to the **** from road Ky side, right off US 60 you will see a sign for Willamette Paper Mill turn right if you are coming from the east or left if you are coming from the west. The road if between Hawesville and Cloverport. That road will take you right to the ****. There is a nice sandy beach there you can drive down it if we have not had any rain. There is a bait shop in downtown Hawesville. Take a right after the first gas station on your right, there will be a set of traffic lights. Sorry I dont know the name of the road. Then take a left a the next set of lights and you will see the Bait shop on your left about five blocks down. It is a little old man with a shop in his back yard, has what you need to catch them on down there, live shinners also. Can catch some, smallmouths, crappie, and small stripers right off the rocks. Hope this helps you Mhall
