Cumberland River Below Dam

[410th]

Just got back from a 3 camp on the CR. They are running one sluce gate 24 hours. I floated from the dam down to the power line's with no trouble and ran back up in a 17 foot tin boat with out any problem and getting back was not a problem. Caught many fish on power bait, color did not matter I dont think. Took friends who never caught a trout and they caught more then I did, many more. I did get the chance to tie on a lot of hook's for them and the little woman. I needed something to do being I had a lot of free time on my hands. Stayed at the camp grounds, best around I do think. Seen a few walleye being caught crank baits.

Helms landing could be a problem for bigger tin boats. The ramp at the dam no problem for tin or glass boats.
Wading would not be any problem at all.

Hope this helps

You guys seeing any trout dying due to the water issues.

Much THANKS for the info.

Hey...next time give me a call...If I'm around I'll take you and I promise you'll catch a fish if we have to float all the way to Nashville to find one!

Hope you're feeling better.
