Coldwater Fishing is Available Even In The Hot Summer Months In The Fishing Capital Of Kentucky

Coldwater fishing in the Cumberland River is possible in the summer due to the Wolf Creek Dam. This dam changed the water temperatures of the lower Cumberland River. Waters that flow into the river are pulled from deep under the surface of Lake Cumberland. The cold tailwater environment is perfect for trophy brown trout and a boon for fishermen looking to catch one, even during the summer months.
