Cumberland River below the dam

We put in at Burkesville. Fished from 7:30 to 1:30pm. We caught 9 fish between us. Clear skies made fishing slow in my opinion. Always do better with clouds. Caught everything on crank baits. 17 inch fish was the largest. It was a rainbow. Caught a few small browns. Saw a raccoon, and an otter or weasel. Not sure what it was. As the clouds increased, so did the chasers.

Are there smallmouth & large mouth to be caught. Powellbass

At the mouths of creeks coming into the river you can catch smallies and maybe a large mouth. Not often you’ll catch them in the river.
