Cumberland Trout

[trent colvin]

Drove down to Winfrey Ferry last night (tues.) the river looked a little higher than it had been... I launch at Winfrey's only and fish up... I found that i can go up past Rainbow run in my 16ft deep vee Sea Nymph with a 50 packing 600lbs of us and gear. the trick I found was to get next to the bank in the shallow water where the timber is on the riffles. The trees cause the river bed to wash out and it makes it a little deeper. I have a 50lb trollong motor and I also keep a push pole. I it gets too shallow, a quick "man overboard" will help... After all on a 90 degree day the water isn't THAT cold.
