See guys fishing below the falls from the bank all the time. Gotta pack everything in a pretty good clip though. Seen guys catch cats and several sturgeon.
They used to stock trout in Dog Slaughter Creek. I caught some there 30 years ago. But I don’t see any mention of it currently being stocked online. They do stock Bark Camp Creek. Both of these streams are about 25 minutes from Cumberland Falls.I think they stock Laurel tailwater too.
