Josh, two guides come immediately to mind.... both top notch. Jim Duckworth
has a wide reputation, gets a lot of press, and he's a good guide, too, but
he's not the best in the area.

In my opinion, Donny Hall is, or was, probably the best all-round striper,
bass, and catfish guide on the Cumberland River around Nashville. He also
guided on KY lake, Percy Priest, Old Hickory and other regional lakes.
Unfortunately, he's recuperating very slowly from some pretty major back
surgery now. I called him today to see how he's doing, but he will be out of
commission for at least another six months.

Hall recommended a pal of his, Don Slacker (615-331-8837), and said that Don
is the best striper man on the Cumberland. Hall claims he knows where they
are and what it takes to get to them even better than Donny does. Tell Don
that Donny Hall recommended him, and he'll take care of you.

If Slacker's not available, give Jim a try. Jim Duckworth's Fishing
Adventures at 615-444-2283.

Fishermen . . . Hey guys,
I know niether one of you know ANYTHING about the Cumberland River down
yer way, but do you know of anyone who does or a guide in the area. There's
a guy on the net Fred McClintock who does the Cumberland, but I'm not sure
where. Price is $300 per day for 2 fishermen. Hows that price sound to you?
Any other Nashville area guys have any suggestions. Looks pretty fast moving
most of the time, but I did see a tv show that showed guys fishing some nice
looking back water areas.
