Fishing for trout from a chair by the Cumberland River

The red folding chair near the edge of the wide Cumberland River at the Banks Street boat ramp caught my eye. It turned out to belong to Mr. Carl Carey, a friendly, knowledgeable, lifetime fisherman. He patiently stopped for a brief visit while keeping an eye on his two lines that disappeared in the swirling currents about 20-30 feet out in the water.

For those not so familiar with the Cumberland River boat ramp just a few blocks from the square in Burkesville, it was hard to know if the red folding chair at the water's edge were occupied, by whom, and just why.

For most in the community, most who use the Banks Street ramp, and those fortunate enough to know the man in the chair, they know that some intense and highly productive action - almost in slow motion - is going on here, and there are frequent changes of scene.
