Advertising Information peter@fishin.com The new state record Skip Jack	Edit Cumberland River Fishing Report Updated November 12, 2008 Cumberland River Water is starting to leaf up so to speak. Low temps and rain are pulling a lot of leaves off the trees and into the water making fly fishing a bit difficult. Trout fishing though is good most days. Spinner baits and crankbaits are good for Rainbows and Brown Trout. Striper fishing is still slow. River is still wadable. 10/08/08 Cumberland River has not changed at all... except that a few leaves are starting to fall but not enough to mess up the fly fishing. Jim 9/28/08 Fishing is good. River is down low. Good trout, lots of fly fishermen catching good fish. Jointed Stone fly and chicago fly and hopper pattern, grasshoppers everywhere. See Chuck for the flies you need. He keeps a supply of the ones that work best on the river. Leaves are not falling yet, so fishing should be good for another week or so. Some lows in the 40's cooling the water. So fishing will improve over the next couple of weeks. Walleye are fair down by the Ferry. Using Nightcrawlers. McMillans Ferry down by Tompkinsville. 9/15/08 Water is low, Brown Trout fishing is good. Fly fishermen are using Jointed Stone Flies, Chicago fly, (black with silver and red in it) and drop tail pheasant are working best for Browns. Wade fishing is excellent. Rainbow trout are hitting the usual, blue fox spinners, and crystal yozuri'e as well as Shad Raps in orange. Some walleye in the pools on jigs and crankbaits. Walleye on shad rap cranks, and yellow twister tails and black. Extended forecast Mid 70's during the day and low 50's at night. Should turn on the fish. Chuck is back in the shop after his successful surgery and transplant. Boats are having a bit of a tough tiime but jon boats and small motors are OK on the pools. Report Updated August 29, 2008 Fishing is good.. some trout, no killer trout but some trout, Fly Fishing is good, wading is great,, river is low.
