Cumberland River Fishing Report 11/01/07 Print E-mail
Friday, 02 November 2007
The Cumberland River below wolf creek dam on lake Cumberland is fishing exceptionally well right now. Flow rates are consistent and low, which make for perfect drift boat fly fishing. This scenario should remain intact with short term forecasts for dry and mild weather in the area. We are currently drifting two different stretches between the dam and Bakerton, KY.

Fall 2007 is the first fall in three years that we have seen low flows on the river. Both the rainbows and browns are spawning successfully. Redds are on most every gravel bar and shoal area. Fishing is best in shallow water with light nymph rigs. We are releasing good numbers of fish, with many in the slot of 15" - 18" and some larger. The last ten fish on the "20 Inch club" page of our website were taken here in the last few weeks. www.southeasternanglers.com

We have two boats available from November 11th - 20th, as well as a few dates before then. I expect the fishing to remain good throughout the remainder of the year. We have some small cabins near our meeting place and launch areas that we are staying at. They are not fancy, but clean and affordable. The Lake Cumberland State Park Resort is also nearby. We are booking trips now. Phone # 423-338-7368, cell # 770-655-9210. Thanks, Dane.
