Cumberland River, Kentucky
Ran a guide trip Sunday. Mike and Ryan Faulhaber. Weather was perfect. Sarted out at about 7:00am, 50-55 degrees, no fog, blue skies. Put the boat in at the house and ran upstream about 5 miles. Not another sole around. Started the drift down stream, wacked a few fish early on with a Black uni-midge. Sun peaked over the hills about 10:00am the water warmed a bit and the Caddis started emerging. Fished a caddis a bit, little luck, that's the thing about the Cumberland, midges, midges, and more midges. The generation was just right, a few pulses from time to time kept the fish active. Both Mike and Ryan caught a bunch of fish, more rainbows than browns. Mike said he held back a little so his son Ryan could land a few fish, Ryan said he did the same, we'll never know. The one thing I do know is that they caught a ton of fish. This an incredible river, if you haven't fished it, you need to, you won't be dissapointed.
