Cumberland water temps?

[Fishwright]

Does anybody know the water temp at Cumberland, the lower end close to the dam? I may try to chase the Stripers this weekend if conditions are favorable.

Dont know the temps on the lower end but last night around Burnside it was 60 degrees on the surface. Hope this info helps you and you have good luck.

It was 61-62 last Sat. from dam to pig pen.

Thanks for the info folks. I have some new umbrella rigs I want to drag around under the downrigger. I think I will try it Sunday, the forecast is calling for cloudy skies. I seem to have better luck that way.
