The cumberland river is as low as I have seen it in several years of fishing that fishery. I hope the trout isn't affected by the warming water but its probaly inevitable that its going to have a serious affect. Another fish that I am worried about is the Walleye and Stripers which also thrive in the cold water environment. About getting a bigger type boat in the only ramp that I would consider would be the one at Thompkinsville.
