Top 10 Patterns from Lake Cumberland

by Curtis Niedermier

Smallmouths dominated at the 2019 Costa FLW Series Championship on Lake Cumberland. Oklahoma’s Andrew Upshaw led the way with brown bass caught on a jig and a Ned rig on bluff bank transitions in the reservoir’s lower end.

Top 10 Patterns from the Potomac River
