Cumberland River trout report

We were down last Sunday. Dam was not letting any water out and conditions were very tough under a clear blue sky. We only caught a few 9-11 inch brook and rainbow trout. No chasers. Water ok. Seen it clearer but should have not been a problem. Not sure why they are not allowing a steady stream come out of the dam. Fish shut down when the current shuts down. Will try again a couple weeks. We fished from Burkesville up 5 miles using spinners, shad raps and rebel craw.

I went out yesterday. I didn't have any luck until about 3 hours before sunset. Then I saw one of the craziest things ever. 3 straight hours of fish jumping. 6 or 7 at a time eating bugs. I was throwing black wooly bugger and a white rooster tail. I ended up catching 52 fish when it was all said and done. 23 straight casts with a fish with the dry fly at one point. I was insane. I love the cumberland.
