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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

The Cumberland river was fishing great this past weekend. Flows were prefect and the fishing was outstanding! The best fishing has moved up river a little and most traditional flies were working. Book a trip now for July!
The river is still fishing good and the flows over the weekend were still excellent for float trips. Most fish came on traditional flies and bigger fish are getting spread out through the runs, but the small fish were still holding together. Flies: Princes, Zebras, Frenchie’s and Hairs Ear’s were all taking fish.
I have been on the river the last four weekends and it’s gotten better each weekend. Tva is running a weekend schedule so Saturday and Sunday’s are your best day to book a trip. Mop flys along with the traditional flys have been working well and I have been netting some nice bow’s with a […]
The fishing on the Cumberland River was really good last week. I netted several 18 + inch rain bows and even got to do a little fishing myself. The rain that hit us on Wednesday added some volume and muddied up the river for a couple of days. Predicted data for the next three days […]
