As far as I know, there's not really any to speak of on the Ohio and
Cumberland rivers, but the northern Illinois river is infested with

I'm fairly sure there are tugs and barges on the Ohio, at least in
some parts. Don't forget that radar reflector! It will make your
return echo look like a 100 footer. A short pole mount in a rod
holder will do the trick.
Just remember that even if the captain of that tug sees you, about all
he can do is blow his horn. A barge train is still going to maintain
course and speed. Dr. Newton says so.
But, but, I had the right of way....
