Thanks again for your kind words fellas.
Roy, I appreciate that. The trout fishing has been slow this year and I don't believe Tdub will start the stocking until some time in mid February. I'll try to keep you posted. Ray, anytime friend. Great story also, isn't it awesome how many life defining moments that can happen on the water to shape us into who we become. It's all about the memories for me too.. Transplanted Sportsman, glad yall were able to feel the magic, as I call it, of Dale Hollow. There is no othet place like. Once I'm there, the world melts away and I never want to leave. UNKangler, they were native to the Cumberland river system so you never know. I personally have not heard of one but I haven't spent much time there since my days at camp Boxwell. |

I've heard unconfirmed rumors of them being seen long ago in Cordell Hull, but it strikes me as unlikely. They are in the lakes and rivers on the Cumberland Plateau, and they are in several lakes just across the state line in Kentucky. In particular there is a Drakes Creek in Kentucky that has a few. However, it's a different Drakes Creek than the one that feeds into Old Hickory. I suspect that's where some of the confusion might arise when people ask if there are muskies in Old Hickory. |
The only lake fish i have ever seen personally besides the one we caught with you (Dave) at Dale was at Tims years ago.

Still a few in the Duck......still some 30 plus inch fish caught a few times.

Great story, thanks for sharing this, my boys seen that photo a while back and would kill to catch this species. I will be contacting you for a trip with them in the future. Keep up the great work/passion!

Just kidding.. i appreciate you taking the time to post. |
TroutFiend, not knowing how old your boys are, I would suggest a May trip because we could chase walleye and Smallies plus have a pretty good chance at a Muskie or November straight Muskie trip before it gets really cold out.

Gotcha, my 2 oldest are 12 and 10. We met you last summer at Horse Creek ramp. You put us on a good Gill bed in that area. I will check your website. Thanks again.

I remember.... Met y'all at the boat ramp. At that age I'd say May for the most action.

Great fish Dave, combined with Darren's talented story telling makes for a wonderful "read".

I agree Gary. Have you gotten into those stripers yet?
