C-Land river around Obey confluence

[Max]

I'm taking a trip with my 11 year old son, another dad and his 10 year old son the 4th of July week. We were planing to fish on the KY side around McMillian's Ferry but reports suggest we should try something else. We're thinking about fishing the C-river / Obey confluence and the Cordell Hull tail race down to the Caney Fork confluence. We're prepared for striper, trout and walleye. I really want to put the boys on fish; any advise would be a blessing. Thanks.

I'm not personally up to date on the reports from the area but I remember reading a report somewhere on this board by Clay, I think, that recently they've been doing pretty well with sauger and walleye on the Cumberland trolling shad raps and something else I don't remember at the moment.  That would seem to be a pretty low impact way to get the kids hooked up with something that would also happen to be good on the table.

Good luck.

They aren't running much water but if you’re somewhat familiar with the area and the methods you should still have a pretty good shot at a Striper at either location. Skipjack or Shad would be my bait of choice for conventional fishing. I don’t know about the Walleye or Sauger.

This is the thread I was remembering.....
