The premier fly fishing guide service for the Cumberland river.
It’s has been a while since I updated a fishing report, so I thought I better get busy and get one up! Fishing has been on and off since December with a few good days each month. Last Saturday fishing was pretty consistent most of the day and I netted four slot fish for my […]
Who said trout fishing in Kentucky is not world class? The fly fishing on the Cumberland River has been outstanding the last couple of months, and I don’t look forward to this could weather that has moved in. The best fishing has been the fist five miles below the dam and fish have been taking […]
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 […]
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 Cumberland river still has been fishing well into late fall. Colder weather is moving in this weekend, but there might be some opportunities to get on the river next week. Bigger flies are working well along with pheasant tails and zebras.
