Really cranked up about getting into fly fishing..especially the Cumberland river below Wolf Creek Dam. And also, possible some of the lesser known streams in Kentucky and Tennessee. Did some research and also got some good advise from the you fellows. Would love to join the Louisville Club, but to far to drive from Jamestown. So, here's where I'm at :

Purchased a 9 foot, 5 wt rod/reel combo...outfitted with weight forward floating line and leader. Now, need to select/purchase some flies for CR trout. Know the basic difference (I think?) between dry and wet flies (wet flies sink???). Beyond that, I'm lost!!! Did a LOT of Internet surfing lately, and find there must be a BIZZILION fly patterns/types to chose from..Problem is, don't know enough to sort out which ones for this area, for time of year, etc...???

Any and all help is much appreciated , specifics, recommendations for good books, web site links.....?
