FNF

[know1]

. I have only fished the fly at Cumberland a couple of times and never had any good luck with it. One, I can't get away from Dale Hollow and all the good success that I have there, and two, Cumberland is a very difficult lake to fish the fly (I would think). I like fishing the grass beds, Black Shale, stumps, ledges and humps that Dale Hollow has that Cumberland does not. Never put the time in Cumberland and as long as Dale Hollow is wet, don't see me doing it either. Only 30 miles or so more to drive and I can be at Dale versus Cumberland and it is well worth that for me versus what I know about Dale versus Cumberland. Are you the fella coming with Know1 to the get together?

Granted, I've fished Cumberland more, but I'd hardly say I'm an expert having only fished it 15 or so days in the last 2 years...if that much.

But I do have to say that I've fished 3 full days on Dale Hollow with the FNF - at the get-together 2 years ago with Boone and 2 full days with my brother later that same year - and I've only caught 1 single 15" Smallmouth. It's difficult for me to drive those extra 30 miles when I've had such poor luck.

I'm hoping my luck and opinion changes at the get-together this year!
