The premier fly fishing guide service for the Cumberland river.
With the lack of any heavy rains TVA has been running some good weekend schedules and the fishing is turning on. Saturday was little windy so, I not able to hit all the sections I wanted but was still able to net several nice rainbows. Traditional flies were working the best: pheasant tails, princes, frenchies […]
It’s been a while since I posted a report so thought I would get a quick update in. The river have been fishing really well and water flows have been great for this time of year. Trout have started to move into some of their spawning areas and seem to be on the move, so […]
The Cumberland has been fishing good all month long. Water can be low and really clear early in the mornings until TVA starts generating. Signal zebra midges and light tippet have been working well on the low water and mops and streamers have been taking bigger fish on the high water. Taking some fish on […]
The Cumberland river has been fishing really good over the last two months. I have been netting several nice fish each trip and this past weekend was no different. The water has been low and clear as of resent due to the lack of rain and low water flows. I am seeing a few sulfurs […]

Weekend flows are the name of the game right now and fishing has been outstanding! Lake drawdown has made it difficult to get on the river through the week along with some rain that has moved through the area over the last couple of weeks. Now is the time to get on the river and […]
I was able to get one last trip two weeks ago before the Easter Kentucky floods caught up with the Cumberland river and the river fished really good, and I was one of a few boats on the river so what a perfect day. The current lake level is 715.09 and is about 5 feet […]
The Cumberland River is fishing excellent right now. I have been netting several fish each trip in the slot, and the fishing seems to be the best early morning and then when the generation starts. I have been using zebras, perdigon, and mops under generation. If your putting in at Helms plan on a crowd […]
I took a couple weeks off to fish out west and had a great trip. I got back on the Cumberland this weekend and to my surprise the river fished really well. Water was starting to clear up when I left and the river starts losing some oxygen in July and that can hurt fishing […]
