Nice looking rainbow.

I have decided that from now on I will keep zero trout when I go fishing for them. Them rascals taste terrible grilled and terrible smoked...the only good trout I had was fried and even then it was just "ok"...Guess it's my own taste buds that doesn't like them.

Nice fish...Where on the river did you guys fish?

As far as eating the trout, the best tasting fish I ever ate was rainbows out of the Cumberland fried over a campfire just hours after catching them. Will never get fresher fish than that but I guess theyre not for everybody.

Last I saw, the CR was raging! Nearly unfishable. I'm glad that you all were able to get some under those conditions. Can't wait for the CR to get back to low flow!

We have heard about the river running fast I'm not for real sure if it was fast last weekend or not. We fish below McApline on the Ohio River right now they are running 83ft of dam right now that is alot of water. White water with 4-5 ft swells.

Rich...I went yesterday and there were 15 boats bottlenecked on the dam, so I headed to helm's and had to stop about 75 yards from the ramp because of the water. I literally just fished the parking lot!

I caught 2 huge skipjack, 2 nice bows, and tons of 9-10inchers. I paid attention to their top-back fin (forget the name for it) that the hatchery clipped. There were many without it, so those brown's have moved down quite a ways.

The river is rolling...it can be fished, but it's a pain to run up river for 30 minutes and then float back down to your starting point in 10 minutes. It eats up too much fuel for me and I hate having to wrangle with the boat the entire time. But for those who love it they have the river all to themselves

Fish on!

Boatbum and I fished the Tailwaters at Kendall. River was running 6mph. We trolled into the current at about 1.5 to 2 mph and looked for "quiet water" when fishing downstream. Whites were stacked up in the pocket right across from the 2 big boulders that Boatbum mentioned. Lost 2 nice trout there, also! Boated a bunch of nice whites and a 21" trout (rainbow).
