Knowing the place names for various stretches of the river comes in handy when you're inquiring about local fishing activity.

It's something I've been wanting to do for 20 years. The Kentucky River is so interesting and offers so much opportunity.

It's still an event that you need to be aware of. There's still a lot of activity in these names. Activity in terms of money is down, but not as much as some people might think.

The scale is 1 inch equals 2,000 feet, or about 21/2 inches per mile. The maps don't show underwater depth contours because they change so much due to the heavy current.

I encourage everyone to send in the update form so I can send them new map pages, which they can easily add to their book.

Other names might have been attached to it by various people, but for now what's in the dictionary, which is our reference, is Augustine Island and Augustine Volcano.
