Cumberland Trout Fishing

With Wolf Creek Dam at Lake Cumberland under extensive repair, anglers question the quality of fishing in the river below. Answers aren't all that's caught this weekend, on "Kentucky Afield" television.
Lake Cumberland tourism for 2008 continues its resiliency with news like this. Host Tim Farmer and renowned fishing guide Randall Gibson provide needed relief for skeptics. While construction crews are hard at work pouring concrete to repair the dam, cold-water habitat and trout are just as busy, giving anglers all they can handle. Five and 6-pound brown trout are plentiful, and so are reasons to come back to the Cumberland.

Everything we do on Kentucky Afield is fair chase. Take a trip with Kentucky Trophy Fishing Guide Service and see the big fish for yourself.
