From personal experience I have had pretty good luck at Red River Gorge which is in both Wolfe and Powell Counties where Natural Bridge State Park is located. Beautful country, too...

Good Luck!

Catfish, it may be a little bit of a drive but if you are up for it Cumberland River below Wolf Creek Dam is just absolutely amazing for trout. The state records for Brown (21 lb. +) and Rainbow(14lb. +) both came out of there.

The water is very cold, so I would highly advise waders. Bank fishing is also successful, but gettin' out in it is a definite advantage. Salmon eggs fished in current about a foot off the bottom, white and yellow (rooster tails, blue fox spinners), Mepps spinners will all kill it down there.

Let me know how you do.
