Lake Cumberland Fishing Restrictions
KENTUCKY...
A hot summer and few rains has lead Kentucky's fish and wildlife agency to place a limit on fishing at Lake Cumberland.
The agency issued a wildlife disaster contingency measure this week for the lake to reduce pressure on striped bass that are under stress from high water temperatures and low levels of dissolved oxygen.
The new regulations mean anglers can only catch two striped bass over 22 inches at the lake in a calendar day.
Biologists have noticed some dead or dying striped bass in the lake due to the water conditions.
