Today I finally made the trip up to the Cumberland River for the first time. Thankfully I went ahead and got the annual license for Kentucky because I'm sure I'll be back soon. The fishing was slow at first until I figured out what was going on and then it was game on for the rest of the afternoon.
Before hitting the river I stopped by the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery to gawk at the hogs. Unfortunately they won't let you fish here but it is still a lot of fun to watch them...
While impressive, watching the pellet fed hogs soon got boring and it was time to go fishing. After wandering around the countryside for awhile I finally found a place to fish. Things started out really slow but later on I found some really nice fish and started catching a few...
All in all it was a great day and I can't wait to spend more time on this amazing river. Tomorrow I'm off to the Caney and the next day will be the beginning of my Smokies trip so stay tuned for more updates soon...
As usuall David you've outdone yourself again with all the photos and the well written stories. Keep up the great work whenever possible. See you later as time permits.
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got into some pigs while you were there. They are even showing some nice spawning colors. I do need to get up that way sometime. Did you see any on the beds?
There's the report I've been waiting for. Good work.
