Recent Cumberland River fishing
« on: February 21, 2017, 05:41:26 PM »
Had a chance to float the Cumberland River from the dam to Helm on President's Day. Weather was perfect but few fish to the net. Others had the same fate. Is the Cumberland really "back"?

I fear not. Year before last, I thought it was well on it's way, but last year was noticeably worse. Still a beautiful place to go fishing.

I've heard good and bad. Haven't spent enough time on the river to make an informed determination. I'm sure there's enough there to keep it interesting though. If nothing else the Striper are a blast.
Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth. Yet, I have not given up all hope that human beings and nations may be able, in spite of all, to learn from the experience of other people without having to go through it personally. The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
