LAKE CUMBERLAND FALL FISHING Fishermen on Lake Cumberland have been known to bring home a 58-pound striper, a 22-pound walleye or a catfish weighing an amazing 208 pounds. From Cumberland Falls to Wolf Creek Dam, Lake Cumberland is filled with crappie, bream, walleye, trout, catfish and five species of bass. Fishing season lasts all year on the lake.
On Lake Cumberland, it’s easy to find your own private fishing cove.
With excellent quality and quantities of both black and white crappie averaging in the .75 to 1-pound range, there is also the opportunity to catch fish well over the 2-pound mark.
