About this water
The Cumberland River below Wolf Creek Dam is one of Kentucky's premier trout fisheries, with cold tailwater releases supporting a year-round population of rainbow and brown trout. This stretch is heavily stocked by KDFWR and draws fly anglers from across the region seeking trophy-sized trout. Nymphing and streamer fishing are most productive, especially near the dam discharge.
