KY Afield Outdoors: Forecast for 2015 calls for fishing

By: Kevin Kelly

FRANKFORT, Ky. - At about the time when the winter boat show season starts to crank up, the annual fishing forecast for Kentucky's major fisheries arrives as another welcome diversion from the winter doldrums.

Produced by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, it's a valuable resource for anglers who want to be in the know and plan ahead. The forecast is available online at fw.ky.gov.

The 2015 edition highlights new and expanding fisheries and late winter and early spring hot spots. A special section makes it easy to identify where the best fishing can be expected for each species while the new up-and-comers section spotlights lakes and rivers that showed improvement last year. For instance: the forecast for crappie has improved from good to excellent at Lake Cumberland, Cave Run and Fishtrap lakes in 2015.

Recycle a natural Christmas tree by donating it to KY F&W

Locations for donating are as near as Green River Lake in Taylor County, Somerset for Lake Cumberland and other area lakes, and Glasgow for Barren River Lake. (KDFWR Christmas Tree Drop-off Sites 2014-15 PDF

Kentucky Fish & Wildlife

FRANKFORT, KY (Tue 30 Dec 2014) - A natural Christmas tree is a holiday season tradition in many households.

Cherished are the memories made around it and dreaded is the day when it must come down, even if the needles are dropping like confetti on New Year’s Eve revelers. A Christmas tree’s usefulness doesn’t end when the holidays are over.

They may be recycled for mulch or donated to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources to provide more cover for fish - and better opportunities for anglers.
