Scenic Cumberland Co., KY: Mighty Cumberland River 2017-04-15 - Bank Street, Burkesville, Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Near Carl Carey's Fishing Place: Spring flowers drape the bank of Bank Street and the mighty Cumberland River seen through the gumbo/slingshot tree trunk, and even from this diminishing perspective, one can see that, as Maxey Oakes said, "The Cumberland River is a big river." Sorry, Ray Hutchison, Jimmy Firquin, Billy Ballou, and even the late Dr. Billy K. Neat, you erred in disputing Mr. Oakes' assessment. It is a big river. And sorry, Flower People, the foreground focus may not be good enough to ID, but we'd like to know. - EW.

Fishing for trout from a chair: rules and regs to fish by 2017-04-14 - Banks Street, Burkesville, Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Mostly due to the limitations posted on Bank Street overlooking the boat ramp in downtown Burkesville, KY, Carl Carey' s main primary catch, he says, are Rainbow Trout. There are more of them, he says, but Brown Trout are just as good, he says. They're both prepared the same way, in filets, very lightly coated in flour, and pan fried. This part of river also yields a lot of catfish and suckers. Catfish is an acknowledged Cumberland River delicacy. Suckers, not so highly prized by those not knowledgeable, are really tasty, prepared the right way, and are one of Carl's favorite foods. -- EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
