    In a kayak you could probably do it, but it would be a long trip time wise. It has been years, but my dad and I have done it several times in a jon boat during warm weather. Often during dry weather we had to wade and drag over shallow riffles, but with your yak that probably is not a problem. On rare ocassions we found the river blocked by fallen trees at narrow points, which caused us to have to get out on the tree, if large enough and slide the boat over, or hit the bank and pack the boat around. If I remember correctly, it is approximately 8 miles from the 100 river bridge to Browns Ford ramp. Good luck and post information about your experience.

    I was at 100 sunday,lots of water up there for a kayak.Yes i sold the Triton and now fishing from a yak.I have gone Green.The 2010 season was a bear with all that happen around Ky. alone made me slow down.With the flood in May and no ramps at Barren & Green i should have got a yak sooner.I plan on getting another yak or 2.There is a great bunch of people doing trips but not fishing.If anyone is interested in fishing from a yak i'll be there if the sun is out and no wind.

    Nothing wrong with going green as long as you don't become a tree hugger LOL.

    I have a friend that puts a jon boat in the tailwaters of Green and floats downstream. I have seen several pictures of smallmouth that came from the water below the dam towards Grensburg. I am not familiar with the area but know there is a couple of places you can put in from the dam to Greensburg city limits.
