    I'm standing on the river bank down here a couple miles upstream from Maribone Shoot. River is real good green, grapple bars are exposed...anybody who wants to wade fish...of course that's subject to change tomorrow. But grapple bars are out.

    There's some good trout being caught. White bass still haven't made it up as far as Burkesville yet, I've had reports of 'em catching them down around McMillon's Ferry.

    We haven't had enough water to get them up this far yet. That's going to take some rain and evidently the core isn't going to give us any until they need to get water out. Going to slwo the process of the white bass coming up river right now.

    Ought to be good striper fishin right now, just nobody trying it yet.

    in the 40s here now, supposed to be 60s this weekend and they're giving sunshine up through all the weekend. Unfortunately, not much rain for getting water up this way.

    Good trout being caught. The river is perfect, not low enough that you can't navigate with a big boat, even a pontoon boat went by me with a bunch of guys on it with fishin polls.

    Still no big fish coming in. Good solid 18-19" rainbows being caught and some good browns, nothing in double digits yet, just 5-6 pounders.

    Friend of mine went to Gainsboro in the Cumberland River and caught 80 sauger in 5 days. So if we get a little water and sauger and walleye out to start moving up, and white bass too. But trout fishing is good!

    I'll let you know if I hear of any change. Just day by day right now waiting on white bass to run.
