Good looking mess of fish!
Wow!!!!
Might have to meet up with you one day next week, and let you school me on Summertime Crappie fishing at Cave Run !! :biggrin

Ive been looking for a reason to go down to Cave run, this may be it. Are there any decent camp grounds close to the water where Me and buddy could pitch a tent for the weekend? and I here mixed things about ramps, is there a prefered ramp? thanks
There are two camp grounds on the main lake Zilpo and Twin Knobs they both have their own ramps.Quote:

Twin Knobs boat ramp is known as Alfrey Launch Ramp .... and according to the above website, requires a $3/1day fee. But, I'd call 606-784-6428 and check to make sure.
I would also suspect that any campground ramp would be for the use of campers only, but again I would call and find out for sure. They can also tell you the closest place to purchase a day pass, for wherever you intend to launch.
And according to this : Louisville District > Missions > Civil Works > Water Information > Updated Lake Temperatures and Dissolved Oxygen Lev > Cave Run Profile ..... your best bet would be to fish in <15ft of water.

Thanks for the info Pappie, that chart on dissolved oxygen is good info., its was last Dec since I've been down that way, tryed My luck at Fly fishing for trout during the delayed harvest season and at that time it was hard to find a thawed stream to fish and I quickly decided I was getting to old for tent camping when it was 20 degrees out, lol. I will plan on Cave run in Sept or Oct, My buddy needs to request vaca time.
Good looking mess of fish, get the grill warmed up
Twin Knobs like Zilpo has it's own ramp inside the camp ground you can buy a yearly pass at the camp ground and use them if your not camping there. Passes for all other ramps can be bought at any bait shop or at the forestry office near the dam. Leatherwood, Bangor, and Black Water ramps do not require a pass.
All boat ramps are open to the public as far as I know. The launch pass is required and can be bought at almost any store or baitshop near by. There is a BP at the Farmers exit off I 64 that sells them.
