Trout fishing bonanza starts today on Cumberland

Trout limit changed in lower Cumberland River; Wolf Dam repair, drought raise water temperatures, reasons for liberalizing catches, allowing creel limit of 10 trout of any size

from Kentucky Fish & Wildlife, Commonwealth News Service

Beginning today, Saturday, June 16, anglers may keep 10 trout of any size taken from the lower Cumberland River from the state line to a point 100 yards upstream of the public boat ramp at Burkesville in Cumberland County. A fishing license and a trout permit are still necessary to fish this section of river.

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett authorized an emergency measure liberalizing the limits on this 40-mile section of the state's premier trout river due to high water temperatures. Because of the Lake Cumberland drawdown and the ongoing drought, water flows are lower than normal and temperatures are increasing.
