Put in at flat lick which is about 15 miles from barbourville by car about 9 am morning and 10 hrs latter took out at Thompson park in Barbourville. Fishing was pretty good we caught 32 I think the best two fish were 16 "kentucky bass most of the fish we caught was Kentucky bass. Caught 2 crappie and 1 catfish . We fished hard for smallmouth but no luck. Most fish was caught on 3/16 oz. white or chartreuse spinner baits. A few fish was caught 1/4 oz. football jig heads with with white Grubbs on it. Also a couple was caught on a real small rattle trap I think it was 1/8 oz. Tried top water a little while do not remember catching a fish on it, and also fished a small spider jig for a little while with no luck . Over all I thought it was a great day just long. Also the river was in real good shape we did not have to carry the boat over any shoals.

I have done that same trip about 4 years ago. Man was it a great day caught several fish all day. Lots of large mouths a couple small mouth and walleyes. Took us about 12 hours river was down and had to pull boat over several of the shoals. Still was a great day though. Would like to get the time to do it again soon.
