About Banklick Creek
Banklick Creek is a stream flowing through Kentucky, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Banklick Creek, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques
- For Green sunfish
Green sunfish often hold near structure, so target areas like submerged logs, docks, and weed beds. Use light tackle for a more sporting experience.
- For Smallmouth bass
Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.
- For Longear sunfish
Use light tackle for increased sensitivity and cast near structure like weeds or submerged trees, as longears often ambush prey from these areas.
