I went last week to the Camp Nelson ramp on the KY River. First, be warned that it costs $5, not free as is stated on the KY Fish and Wildlife site. I sent them a note to correct this so people are not surprised. I don't know if it is always like this, but if you put in there be careful and stay to the extreme downstream side of the ramp. There is a steep drop off if you go down the middle. The upriver side trailer tire blew out. I only have my trolling motor right now so I started up river to go to the tailwater of the dam but after 30 min and only going about a fourth of the way I gave up and just fished around the ramp area. No bass or bluegill or anything other than black colored suckers and long nose Gar (tons of both). I decided to play with the Gar out of boredom and had fun. I only boated one but had a blast with them. I did have some monster (either Gar, Muskie or Flathead) come out from under a log and rip off my bait. I was shell shocked after withnessing it. I saw the white under belly and it was a good four feet long! Cool! I am going to go back with nylon rope lures and wire leaders and see if I can't catch a bunch of the Gar and hopefully that log under a log Even with the flat tire and my boat sitting cockeyed on my boat after loading it up, I had fun because of the gar. I can't wait to fish the river again, especially once my big motor is working so I can get to the tailwater. I really recommend it to anyone. Beware that there are some shallow areas but if you are paying any attention at all and going slow you will be ok. Enjoy
