Cumberland River Fishing Report Updated November 15, 2009

Fishing Report for the Cumberland River.
Water temps in the river have gone below 63 degrees this week.
Not many folks fishing according to Strange Bait and Tackle, but those who are fishing are catching good numbers of Rainbow and Brown Trout. Some Brook Trout from the Obey River stockings below the Dale Hollow Dam are showing up as well. According to the regs Brook Trout are not legal to keep. With the 10 fish limit still in effect at least as of this writing, not sure how that will be enforced.
Walleye are still showing up in some numbers, as well as some white bass.
There was no mention of Stripers in the river, but with the water high for so long this summer, I am guessing a few still linger in the deepr pools.
Live bait, and Fin S's should work if they are there.
