Trout fishing below Wolf Creek dam with a inline spinner is an absolute ball. 50+ fish is not uncommon., check the TVA schedule for generation schedule, less generation the better! The river offers lots of boulders, rock piles, current breaks and laydowns for the trout to ambush a spinner. Load the kayak, grab a spinning rod, grab a spinner, grab a buddy, grab a life jacket and head to the river!

Trout fishing below the dam of Lake Cumberland on the river is a great way to beat the heat, have a fun fishing day and get your line stretched. Rainbow trout and big ones live here. Super easy, take your favorite light spinning rod set up, a inline spinner and cast along the laydowns and boulders. Have fun and hold on!
