YA THINK ?? :Rofl Took them 9 days last Jan to pull it down 14ft, and they were pulling it HARD. Not sure how long it will take to pull it down 25ft ... and even that's depending on whenever they CAN start pulling it !! :Doh:Quote:

The cities of Shepherdsville and West Point are underwater due, in part, to the Salt River. I expect they’ll take their sweet time bringing her back down until after the Ohio crests and the Salt and Rolling Fork recede.
Got that right, Dutch !! Taylorsville is 26ft over Summer Pool and the spillway is only running at 59cfs (as of this AM per COE Lake Level Chart).Quote:

The thing about it is, they are doing what that lake is designed to do. The mayor of Shepardsville just caught a 50 lbs. blue in his front yard. If they let Taylorsville roll he may not have a front yard left.
any recent pix also how do u get to that spillway
would that spillway be a good place for sauger
You get to the spillway by going on the road that crosses the dam ... 2239 which runs between 55 & 44 ... and turn off on COE Tailwater Rd. (Google Maps or Mapquest will show you the way)Quote:

I do know that the Asian Carp are there at times, as I've rolled a few over with my Road Runner ... and a friend of mine actually caught and landed one. Most people I see fishing there are fishing for Catfish or Crappie.
There are sauger naturally occurring below the dam since there aren’t any dams between Taylorsville and the Ohio. The state stocked thousands in there up until 2014 or so as part of a long-term study. We would occasionally catch them around Shepherdsville growing up on minnow-tipped jigs fishing the riffles in the cooler months so they’ve always been there to some degree. The issue is that they’re not a very dense population in the Salt River so the catch rate has never been real high. Keep in mind that KDFWR also stocks 3,000 hatchery rainbow trout four months out of the year below the dam to add another opportunity.
thanks guys only ask because i accidently caught one by settlers trace and i have heard they are very good eating
You probably caught a saugeye that have been stocked. Should be getting keeper sized by now. Caught a ton long lining last year just under the slot.Quote:

Where does it say there's a slot limit on Saugeye at T-ville ?? There's no mention of it in the Fishing/Boating Guide or on the 2017 Fishing Forecast list. All the 2017 Forecast list said was the Saugeye fishing was "Fair" & Two years of stocking have been completed. Harvestable size saugeye are present.Low numbers because it is a newer fishery.Quote:

There isn't a size limit on sauger. It's 15'' state wide on walleye and saugeye. It's in the boating guide. It also was posted at Vann Buren and Chowning ramps. Not sure if it's still there, haven't been since around Christmas.Quote:

My bad, I misread the guide. You are correct about the Saugeye having a 15" size limit ... you just threw me calling it a "slot" :biggrinQuote:

thanks pappy going by that i think it was a sauger
still hard to tell considering i am holding down the most telling part lol
Looking at the picture, one would almost think it's a small Walleye ... so, yeah, I can understand your confusion. But, if it was caught out of the lake, it's probably a Saugeye.Quote:

The Silver Muskie was caught actually fishing for them ... the others were "accidental" catches while Bass or Crappie fishing.
