I fish the Floyds a lot and usually use curly tail grubs (mostly white). I've caught them from 8" to 20+. In fact, I've started carrying a tape measure with me just so I can measure some of the bigger ones I catch.

Also, I've had equal luck going down stream as much as going upstream from Seatonville--some days its great, some days its good, and some days its poor going which ever way I choose. I should add that I've floated my canoe as well as waded in both directions with equal results. But my favorite thing to do is to put in at Floyds Fork park and take out at Seatonville but that's an all day (12+ hrs) trip under the best of conditions if you're fishing.

As for a pool for gar, go up to Aiken Rd--especially if you have some sort of boat. Thats just one big pool. You can fish right there by the bridge but wading and walking the bank are kind of tough as the banks are real steep in that pool. That's where I went Saturday and saw several gar that I tried to snag with my lure (unsuccessfully).

Also, the pool after the creek crosses under Taylorsville Rd holds a lot of gar. I remember seeing what looked to be a hundred last year when my daughter and I canoed that section.

As for Broadrun, I've not had too much luck there. I'm sure if I waded far enough, the fishing would be better, but its real shallow right there and for as far as I waded downstream that day. And as for Bardstown Rd, I had some luck there when I fished it. I keep telling myself that I need to go back with my canoe but I haven't yet.
