Hybrids/Whites going yet?

[Perk0915]

I don't know about these lakes but I was at Taylorsville weds and ran into a guy that had been fishing the headwaters above Van Buren as he was taking his boat out and he said that he got into the whites pretty good , said he caught over a hundred. I wasn't fishing at the time.

I went last week and caught one white and several crappie, then my friend went Weds afternoon and he said they were starting up. He was on the Dix River (headwaters of Herrington). He caught 30 or more in about an hour...but it took him a while to find them. I'm going next Thursday if I can get away with it. Hopefully I won't be too late!

Hope this cool weather won't drop the water temps too much.

I heard from a realiable source that the whites are going crazy on the lower section of the Cumberland River. Anywhere you can find a creek coming into the river, they are there. I'm looking to go this Tues. Looking forward to it.

That brings back some bad memories for me. About three years ago I read an article about the hybrid and white spawn at Taylorsville lake and how good it was supposed to be. Well, I got some guys together and we went up there. We put in at Van Buren and headed up stream. It was one of the most miserable fishing days I've yet to experience! Cold, wet, no fish anywhere to be found, rain, rain, rain....and repeat. I'm sure it was just a bad day, but it shut me off from making the trip again. I'm sure they are in there, it's just too far for me to take the chance.
