Temperatures are in mid 60's

Per Benjy Kinman KYDFWR
The trout regs will revert back to the normal regulations for the Cumberland River.

I am not seeing any information about these regulation changes on the KDFW website. Their curren "Cumberland River Update" was posted back in June, when the size and number regulations was relaxed. Does anyone have a link to a new update? I read somewhere that a bunch of trout will be dumped in the river this fall. Like to know if this is all fact or rumor.

The info. is from a KDFWR news release and it also said of the stocking of more trout including 50K browns.

You mentioned KDFWR's web site. Have you seen the stocking info there? If not, here's the URL:
http://fw.ky.gov/navigation.asp?cid=140&NavPath=C101

The Trout Stocking Schedule only shows information for the month, so right now all it shows is what they did in September. But it'll be updated early in October, with all the announced stockings posted there. Notice I specified "announced," because not all stockings of trout are announced ahead of time. Right now, what you'll probably find more informative than the actual schedule is the "2007 Trout Streams Classification" section: http://fw.ky.gov/troutclass.asp?lid=885&NavPath=C101C140
It explains the classification system and lists all of KY's streams by class, and shows what type(s) of stocking each receives, which populations "carry over," etc. But to answer your question, I'm sure that "a bunch of trout will be dumped in the river this fall," just like every other fall, issues with the drawdown notwithstanding.

Is Hatchery Creek still open and fishable? I want to head down soon to take my daughter and her friend trout fishing. Thanks

I appreciate the offer but I will be tied up hanging out with about 50 guys at this gathering. We have been doing it for 20 years now. I normally don't even wet a line much anymore when I am there now. I just visit with the guys and since I kind of oversee the gathering I get tied up getting things organized and what little time I have free I just like to visit with my old friends and family.

You couldn't pick a prettier place to relax. Have fun Dave.
