Hello,I was out this week, the small mouth are doing very good. I have been having 20 fish days.
Cumberland River
I have been out on the river, It has been looking really good. Last week we got a striper that weighed 47 pounds and was 49 inches. The stripers are starting to hit good on the river. Let's go fishing.

The Cumberland River is finally down to near normal levels for the summer. Gravel bars are just under the water and fishable from a boat.
Stripers to 40 pounds are being caught on live and artificial baits.
Brown trout in the 10 pound class are also showing up on the usual spinner baits and live baits, the same for Rainbow trout up to 7.5 pounds.
White bass are still showing up in the creeks with good numbers reported around Marrow Bone Creek.
Report By Strange Bait and Tackle
on Main Street in Burkesville just before the bridge.
Striped Bass have moved up due to the long period of high water. Good fish are being caught from Marrow Bone Creek down to the State Line. Johnny Rush reports they are hitting live and artificial bait, and that on a recent trip he hooked 3 strippers: 15lb, 27lb, and a 33lb.
Trout, White Bass, Walleye and Sauger still are being caught in good numbers. Brown trout to 10 pounds and Rainbows to 7 pounds are being caught all the way to the Tennessee Line.
