Kentucky River help

[fishinfreak]

I can only speak to the Frankfort pool and a little bit farther downstream.

KDFWR did a survey a while back and they found a few smallmouth in the river, at least more so than usual. They weren't big but they were there.

So what you're saying is I shouldn't go there expecting to catch any? Is there just mainly largemouth and spots? I live in shelbyville and have always wanted to fish the ky river but I don't know the water and don't feel like messing my boat up.

Near Lock 4, and downstream near the mouth of Elkhorn Creek, you have a fair chance to catch a smallmouth. Elsewhere, in my experience at least, it's mainly largemouth and yes some spots in the rocky areas.

I wouldn't worry too much about messing your boat up. Ramps are good and channel is easy to navigate.
