Fishing for trout from a chair: Carl Carey freely shares expertise 2017-04-15 - Bank Street, Burkesville, Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). As a gazillion - approximately - gnats migrate up river in an unending flight, and as the rising Cumberland River crept higher and higher on the Boat Ramp, Carl Carey took a moment to share more about his fishing experiences. The gnats are a nuisance, and mosquitoes about. But he said in all his years fishing at the boat ramp, he's never seen a snake there, much less a dangerous one. The conversation was cut short at this point, a bit, as another fisherman was waiting for the photographer to move so he could launch his boat. - LW/EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
