First trip to the Cumberland River
Made my first trip ever to the Cumberland River below Wolf Creek. Put in just down from Burksville and ran up river about 8-9 miles. We were trying to catch a striper but ended up slaying the trout. Caught rainbows, brookies, and browns. First time catching the latter. Only one tiny striper but had a 40 pounder, or more, follow a lure to the boat. Had several smaller ones follow to the boat but no hits. According to everyone the water was up, but I have no reference. Any suggestions for a striper would be appreciated. I really want to tangle with a big one being as I've never caught one over 4-5 pounds. Feel free to PM about any trout details.
