Wolf Creek Dam on the C River

Oh man I need to get down there! I have been reading and researching and tying for months, fantasizing about trophy browns! I here they will continue to bite all through the early summer on the Cumberland, anyone care to share? I haven't been able to get out much and probably won't for a good bit, seeing as how the PARC Nazis jacked my ride and are holding for a quite exorbitant sum, so I won't really have much to share but I can send a few flies as a sort of thank you for quality intel. Any takers?

I can tell you that the past few summers have been great for trout fishing. We have never caught many browns but mostly rainbows instead. When the water goes down and wading becomes a possibility the fishing heats up. No rush to get down there for fly fishing right now. It likely wouldnt be possible at this time, at least it wasnt the last time we went down. Good luck with the vehicle sutuation and good fishing.

Also I am gonna try for next Tuesday or Wednesday or maybe Thursday and I will post a report when I get back.

I was at CR this weekend with some friends fishing 4-5 miles upstream from Burkesville. The river was a little higher than I remember from last summer but there were still exposed sandbars. We like to beach at the sandbars and fish the fast water. Good production on flies, some with nightcrawlers, a few on mepp type spinners, and crankbaits in the slower water at the end of the sandbar. Caught a few browns.

My dad and uncle have been down there for the past 9 days and are staying until Wed. Between the 4 of them (step mom and aunt as well), they have all limited out in trout every day but one. Said he has a cooler of fillets coming back.

That right there is my idea of livin', gone fishin' for not just a few days but a couple of weeks! I hope that's what I'll be able to do one day.

Not at the dam but the river is down at burkesville the ramp is open, but the water is quite stained and the tremps are begging to rise currently 63 degrees at the ramp.

Thanks man. That is the exact information I was looking for.

Looks like the flood gates will open back up at the CR after this terrential down pour we are receiving! Make it stop!!!
