I will take any info I can get. You can PM me if you like. Even feel free to call my cell (513) 288-5653. I want as much info as I can get. Ronnie

PS How is the river fishing now
NICE TO MEET A FELLOW FLY FISHERMAN...THERE ARE FEW AROUND THESE PARTS! I'VE BEEN FLY FISHING THE CUMBERLAND EVERY WINTER FOR THE PAST 6 YRS...ENOUGH TO GET ME IN TROUBLE WITH THE MRS.! THE PLACE TO GO DURING THE WINTER IS THE HATCHERY CREEK THAT RUNS OUT OF THE TROUT HATCHERY AND HOOKS UP WITH THE MAIN RIVER A MILE OR SO DOWN STREAM. THE SPAWNERS HEAD UP THIS CREEK AND ARE THERE FOR THE PICKING. THIS IS USUALLY NOV.-FEB., BUT THERE MIGHT STILL BE SOME LURKING AROUND...GIVE IT A TRY! THE MAIN RIVER IS WAY TO HIGH TO FLY FISH! FLIES OF CHOICE ARE BEADHEAD ANYTHING! BH PHEASANT TAILS, BH HARES EARS, BH COPPER JOHNS, BH BRASSIES, BH STONES, ETC. ETC. THEY ALL WORK! CAUGHT A 7.5 LB 27" BROWN THERE THIS JANUARY...THEY'RE IN THERE! GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND REPORT BACK ON HOW YOU DO!
