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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
