Pond Fishing on Kentucky Afield

Kentucky is notorious for its great fishing.   With Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Barren River Lake, and many others, its little wonder Kentucky fishing is popular with fishermen (and women!).

However, if you can’t make a trip to one of Kentucky’s larger lakes or streams, don’t hang up your fishing pole just yet –   great fishing is still waiting at a nearby farm pond!  You’ll see proof positive on “Kentucky Afield” this weekend, July 10 and 11.

From his cell phone, a private land owner shows host, Tim Farmer, a snapshot of an 8-pound largemouth bass caught the previous week. That was incentive enough to grab some gear and remember the value of farm pond fishing. Often dismissed because of small size or lack of scenic beauty, a well-balanced pond packs plenty of excitement. Tune in as Kentucky Afield goes to Fayette County for the proof.

Elsewhere, just like the temperature, noodling season is hot. Kentucky Conservation Officer Mickey Craig takes Farmer to the Ohio River in Campbell County to try the bare-hand technique on some whopper catfish.

Also on the show?  Geese!  Canada geese molt their flight feathers in mid-summer. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources migratory bird biologists Rocky Pritchert and John Brunjes show us how researchers take advantage of this opportunity to gather the birds and attach leg bands.

Avid Bird Watchers like me won’t want to miss this story.
