But it's hard to turn back when you can see the next hole just around the corner. The most important thing is to respect their property by not littering, catch and release fish, and leaving as little impact as possible. I also pack out trash when I see it.

Unfortunately I see some people abuse the creeks and it winds up ruining it for us all. Typically I steer clear of the easy to access areas and those generally get the most abuse.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it's been my understanding that landowners don't own Ky waterways....if you came into a creek/stream from a public access point, or from land you have permission to be on and as long as you stayed "IN" the creek and didn't get out onto someone's land....it was my impression that the landowner can't do a dam thing....

Am I wrong here ?
