Montana-Style Drift Boat Fishing on Kentucky's Cumberland River

A native of central Kentucky, Troy Humphrey returns from a decade of fly fishing and guide-work in Montana to bring Western-style fly fishing to the Cumberland River.

Troy honed his fly fishing skills close to home, fishing Dix River, Beaver Creek, and Rock Creek for trout.  While attending Montana State University, Troy discovered the effectiveness of float fishing using specially designed drift boats.  Drift boat fishing allows a fisherman to survey 6-12 miles of river for the best conditions.  With the idea of bringing Montana-style fly fishing to the Cumberland, Troy moved to Jamestown, in close proximity to some of the area's best fishing. 

Troy has been featured in a number of hunting and fishing publications, including Outdoor Canada and Field and Stream.  

Through Cumberland Trout Guide, Troy looks forward to introducing you to the Cumberland River.  Cumberland Trout Guide serves fisherman of all ages and abilities, from experienced fly fishermen that want a taste of Montana-style drift boat fishing to fathers that want to give their sons or daughters a more forgiving introduction to fly fishing.  While the Cumberland River provides nice fly fishing opportunities, fishermen are welcome to fish any tackle they wish.
