SUMMARY:Obey River Tailwaters Trip
DESCRIPTION:Coordinator: Joe Gahlinger (joe@derbycityflyfishers.com\, 502-472-3975) \n\n\nSign Up cutoff is midnight June 4th so we can cancel unneeded rooms if necessary. \nThe Plan:  We have room reservations Wednesday and Thursday nights at the Valley View Motel in Celina\, TN. We’ll arrive Wednesday afternoon/evening and fish the Obey on Thursday and Friday.  Note:  There is a Cumberland Tailwaters trip scheduled for 9 thru 11 June at Helm’s Landing. If you desire\, you can fish the Obey on Thursday and Friday then travel to the Riverside Retreat at Helm’s Landing Friday afternoon/evening to fish the Cumberland on Saturday and Sunday.  Note: These are separate trips and you must sign up for each of them separately. \nDescription of the Waters: The Obey River Tailwater is a 7 mile stretch of the Obey River that runs between the Dale Hollow Lake Dam and the Cumberland River. The river is stocked with rainbow and brown trout year-round. Club members have caught both species in good numbers and sizes (it is not uncommon to hook up on 18+ inch fish.) The river is subject to rapidly changing conditions based on the dam release schedule. It is a narrow river with high banks\, thus when dam release begins the river rises rapidly by as much as 12 to 15 feet. The upper half of the river is shallow during non-release periods but can be navigated carefully by shallow draft motorboats. The lower half is deeper and easily navigated at low water.  Google Map Link \nAccessibility: Wading is limited and mostly only accessible via watercraft. So\, this will be a float trip (shallow draft motorboats\, kayaks\, canoes\, etc.)  There are three concrete boat ramps along the river with ample parking available. We typically launch and recover motorboats at the Donaldson Park ramp\, which is at the lower end of the river. We motor up about 2.5 miles to an island and fish our way back down to the ramp. For those with kayaks\, canoes\, etc.\, we’ll organize shuttles for launch and take out. If you do not have a watercraft but would like to come on this trip\, contact Joe Gahlinger for help in getting a seat – but no guarantees. DO NOT SIGN UP until you have made boating arrangements. \nLevel: This is rated a Level 2 Trip (see Trip Suitability for details.) Boat operators should have experience navigating shallow water rivers and dealing with rising water from dam releases. Kayakers\, canoeists\, etc.\, should have experience fishing from a kayak in moving water. PFD’s are required for all. \nMeals: The Valley View Motel has no microwaves or refrigerators and cooking in the rooms is not allowed. Thus\, all meals are on your own. There are a couple restaurants within walking distance of the motel and several others just a short drive away. We can do group dinners depending on participants desires. \nYou can get breakfast sandwiches at a nearby gas station on the way to the ramp if you want to get an early start.  Otherwise\, there is a decent breakfast diner on the way to the ramp for a more leisurely breakfast.  Plan to pack a lunch to eat on the water. \nLodging: We have reserved four rooms at the Valley View Motel in Celina for Wednesday and Thursday nights. These are small\, basic rooms so temper your expectations. They are clean and serviceable and at $65/night (cash)\, $68/night (credit card) per room are a reasonable value. We plan on shared rooms so the cost is half that per night per person. No deposit is required\, you pay at check in. Boat trailer parking is tight but manageable and we can run extension cords to charge trolling motor batteries. As noted under meals\, no cooking is allowed in the rooms and there’s no refrigeration. Campsites are available at the Dale Hollow Damsite Campgrounds immediately adjacent to the boat ramp just below the dam. You can get Campground information and make reservations at https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232564 \nFishing License and permits: You will need a Tennessee All Species fishing license. A 3-day non-resident costs $40.50 and an annual non-resident costs $99.00. You can get more information and buy licenses here. \nEquipment:  3 to 8 weight fly rods. Flies include #8 to #20 nymphs\, including pheasant tails\, hare’s ears\, prince\, copper john’s\, midges\, and most other trout nymphs. Black\, white and olive wooly buggers are good streamers. If all else fails\, bring the Club standby\, catalpa worm patterns (AKA mop flies) or some Trout Magnets. DCFF members have had good results with both. \nTennessee Fishing Guide: You can get more information on Tennessee fishing regulations\, locations\, trout fishing requirements\, etc.\, at  https://www.tn.gov/twra/fishing.html \nSign Up: You must be a current DCFF member to sign up for this trip.

SUMMARY:Cumberland River Trip June 2023
DESCRIPTION:Location: Riverside Retreat\, Helm’s Landing \nDates:   June 9th – 11th (Fri – Sun) \nCoordinator:  Wes Krupiczewicz wes@derbycityflyfishers.com or 502-938-2662 \nLevel 3 Trip:  This is a trip for experienced anglers and there will be limited opportunities for training (see Trip Suitability for details).  All boaters should have experience in moving waters.  When generation starts on the Cumberland\, water levels can quickly rise 15 feet or more.  A PFD is required for all boaters. \nNumber of Spots: 8 \nEquipment:  3 to 8 weight fly rods.  Smaller rods are appropriate for nymph fishing while 8 weight rods are a better choice for streamer or “hopper/dropper” fishing.  Flies include #8 to #18 nymphs\, including stone flies\, pheasant tails\, hare’s ears\, prince\, copper john’s\, midges\, and most other trout flies like mop and egg patterns.  Black\, white and olive wooly buggers are good streamers.  Prominently white shad imitations work well and provide a visual fishing experience when fished from a boat.  Hoppers and other terrestrials will take fish in August and September when fished along walls and high banks. \nFishing License and permits:  You will need a Kentucky fishing license and trout permit. Click here to purchase. There is a $5 vehicle fee to use the Kendall boat ramp at the dam. This fee is waived with a National Park Pass. \nThe Plan:  The club has reserved all 4 rooms at the Riverside Retreat at Helm’s Landing for this outing.  Cost is $110 per person for the two night weekend\, assuming double occupancy in each room; registration and full payment is required to secure your bed. Note that due to escalating costs\, we may have a cash surcharge in addition to the registration fee.  Any refunds for cancelations are at the discretion of the DCFF board.  There are 8 spots on the sign up.  Anyone wanting to stay over only 1 night will be accommodated as floor space allows – contact Wes regarding availability of space.  Also\, Wes has reserved 2 rooms for Wednesday and Thursday evenings to extend the outing; Wednesday and Thursday are not included in the registration payment and cost extra – contact Wes if interested. \nDescription of the Waters:  In 2023\, we can expect some sort of a generation schedule with little to no flow in the early morning and generation starting sometime between dawn and early afternoon.  This trip should be considered primarily a boating or floating trip with the possibility of wade fishing on various shoals accessible by boat.  There is also the possibility to wade fish Hatchery Creek.  Go to the Stream Information – Cumberland River page on the DCFF website for more information about the river\, possible floats in the upper section of the river\, and alternative launch locations.  If we get a lot of rain and high-water levels on the tailwater\, there is always the potential to fish for bass or panfish on Lake Cumberland itself. \nDepending on water conditions and the generation schedule\, virtually any small craft can be used on the river.  At 2 or more generators or during high winds\, the river will be “pushy” for inflatable pontoon boats; canoes and kayaks are better\, but skill will be required to safely use them under generation flow conditions.  Small motor-powered craft are the best option if the operator knows how to avoid river obstructions like rocks and logs.  It will be your responsibility to secure a craft and/or find a buddy with a craft.  You can follow other experienced members on the river\, but you need to know how to navigate and operate your boat.  Also\, recognize the need to practice safe boating techniques on the Cumberland; wear a life jacket when you are underway and if you get dumped into the river get to shore ASAP – hypothermia will take over quickly with the water temperatures in the 50s year round! \nLodging:  There are 8 beds available in the rooms.  Linens and towels are provided.  Each room has a cooktop stove (no oven)\, microwave\, small refrigerator\, coffee maker (bring your own coffee and condiments). Dishes\, flat ware and cooking utensils are available\, but if you need something specific for meal preparation\, plan to bring it.  There is an icemaker on the property ($2 for approximate 7lb bag.) There are charcoal grills on the deck.  You are expected to do your dishes and keep the rooms clean.  Please do not leave trash or garbage on the deck – raccoons are a problem. \nMeals:  Breakfast and Lunch are on your own.  We traditionally share supper; volunteer cooks are always appreciated\, and your food costs are reimbursable\, so save those receipts.  Bring a chair to enjoy the fire in the evening (assuming we can source the wood).  Your payment includes the cost of supper and firewood. \nSign Up:  If you have any questions\, contact Wes at wes@derbycityflyfishers.com or 502-938-2662.  You must be a current DCFF member to sign up for this trip.  Click here to sign up.
