Cumberland River Update















The Cumberland River below Cumberland Lake near Burkesville, Kentucky is one of the best kept trout fishing secrets in the Southeast. As of July 13, the river was still a bit high but fishing is excellent for Trout, Walleye, and White bass in the creeks.

• Brown trout are hitting spinners and crank baits at the ends of gravel bars.
• Walleye are hitting Night Crawler Rigs.
• White bass are in the creeks hot and heavy with good 2 to 3 pound fish being caught.
• Some good stripers are showing up around Burkesville and are being caught on live bait.

A new lure by Nemire Lures is catching a few fish. It is the Nemire Redfish Spoon in Orange and in Black. Both Stripers and Walleye are hitting the new lure. Do a search for Nemire Lures to find them. The Spoon and spinner combo is working well also on the white bass in white.
