Thread: How Long Will It Last?

I believe the KYDNR does a good job, in fact I wish they were in charge of Patoka lake, maybe then that lake would make a return.

I think so. Tubing and skiing burns a lot of fuel.

I haven’t fished Taylorsville for about 6 weeks or so.
I always catch fish and normally about 10-1 short fish keeper ratio.
There are millions of 9 7/8 inch fish and don’t mind that because I usually grind out at least 4-10 keepers.
I have been checked at the ramp twice without incident. I don’t have a problem with fish and Wildlife checking my creel or anything else.
I will have to say I had never seen the amount of rude boaters on one body of water in my life.
Boats speeding within 20-30 yards of you when they have the entire lake.
On day a guy fishing solo came between my boat and the bank and I was only 40 foot off the bank pushing minnows.
He was on his trolling motor and I could have touched his boat with a 14 foot pole.
Told myself not to say anything and let him pass. He is lucky this didn’t happen 20-30 years ago. Lol
Been quite a different outcome.
I even avoid pulling in fish when others are around if I can because boats would be on top of you.
Enough Ranting.
Otherwise I like Taylorsville. Lol
