Floyds Fork and public vs. private land along bank

[RoadToad]

I've talked to a few people who have floated the stretch from Miles down to Taylorsville, and for one thing, most of the time, there are parts where you have portage. So basically you have to trespass to do it, but nobody's ever said anything. I can't speak for the rest of it, but I doubt it would be an issue anywhere along that 6-mile stretch.

I've fished Floyds Fork for the last 33 years.. never had anyone give me a hassle. Just be nice treat the creek and land around it with respect. I always take out trash other people leave behind. Always catch and release.

I caught a 6 1/2 pound Drum using 4 lbs Mono on a 5'3" UL last weekend... I had to run after it as it ripped out almost all my line. Super fun!!

I've never personally had any issues. Just treat the land and water with respect, and if someone says something to you, apologize and leave if that's what they want.

I have fished the stretch between Miles Park and Floyds Fork Park about a dozen times. No hassles; always a fun time.

The city is buying a bunch of the land and planning a big park plan for the entire stretch of Floyds Fork around Jefferson County. The kayak/canoe ramps were built at Miles Park and Floyd's Fork park in plans for this park. This is much more convenient than years ago when we canoed it before the ramps. It used to be a heck of a time to get a canoe out at Floyd's fork park before the ramp.

I look forward to when they have more ramps at other spots on the creek. I would like to explore it further.

If you are putting a kayak or boat in where it it private property; you definitely need to get permission.

Just wanted to say thanks to whomever is catching a releasing the smallies around Floyds Fork Park. I caught a 3 lbs smallie that looked like it had been caught less than a week before.

It's important that we catch and release if we want to have any decent sized smallies in that stretch of the creek.
