Although water conditions have changed the fishing has remained good and it seems water flows are having a big impact right now. The Corp is sluicing through the week and cutting back to the orifice gates and adding the oxygenators in on weekends. The weekend fishing has been a little better overall, but the boat […]
It’s been a one of the best springs/early summers to be on the Cumberland River. Great water flows and good weather although last weekended the great weather ended. Jamestown and Burksville received 6-10 inches of rain which have the river running backwards for about 6 hours until some of the heavy runoff could make it’s […]
The Cumberland has been getting better everyday! Taking some nice rainbows, brooks and browns. The caddas hatch is on so a pheasant tail and a zebra mide is working good upstream and down stream I would add a yellow stone into the mix. Anything caddis is working. Book you guided fly fishing trip on the […]
Water flows have been pretty good so far this year for spring and fishing has been fair. I have taken a few nice browns and rainbows. There has been a recent stocking of brook trout so it’s hard not to get a few. I notice last Friday that the Corp kicked up the water flow […]
The Cumblerland has fished really well all summer. Still taking some large bow’s and brown’s each trip but fish are starting to get weary of boats and fly line. Not to much top water action right now so nymphs still seem to be the ticket. Hatches of Bwo’s, midges, sulfers, and caddas remain strong. It’s […]
Fishing is starting to pick up on the Cumberland. Water off color, but big flies are taking nice fish. Water temp is 45 degrees so plan on nymph fishing deep holes and slower moving water. The new bridge has changed black creek fish bar a the bottom and it may be difficult to get an […]
The Cumberland River has been fishing excellent over the last couple of weeks. Tva has been sluicing and with the added oxygen, it has created some great fishing. The best fishing has been from the dam to Winfrey’s Ferry and pheasant tails and mop flies have been working well.
The Cumberland has been fishing good, but has slowed down a little over the last couple of weeks. Water is clearing up and fish are starting to spook a little from boats and anglers. Trout don’t seem to have moved up to the banks yet but I am starting to get looks and takes on […]
I was able to get a couple of guide trips in before the rain hit a two weeks ago and the fishing was fantastic. At that time I was not seeing any cicadas and fish were coming on traditional nymphs like pheasant tails. I have seen a Instagram post since then and have been told […]
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 […]
