KY Afield Outdoors: Late spring is prime time for catfish This is the final installment of the "Spring Fishing Fever" series of articles, which detail productive fishing opportunities across Kentucky By: Kevin Kelly FRANKFORT, Ky. - A stable weather pattern this week brought an early taste of summer to Kentucky as high temperatures topped 80-degrees on consecutive days. Warmer weather and water temperatures climbing into the 70s tell catfish that it's time to spawn, and anglers who pursue them know from experience the period from late spring into early summer is prime time. "The next couple of weeks look good for catfish because they're going to be aggressive and feeding," said Kevin Frey, eastern fisheries district biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Sharon Whitehurst on Gradyville Odd Bird: Likely an escapee Settling the issue of the Odd Bird's Identity is more to her liking than the Hot Button issues of these time Sharon Whitehurst writes: We have friends in the county who raise some exotic fowls. In seeing Matt and Gina's photos on FB they commented that Diamond Doves are also imported and raised. I suspect an escapee. Not wanting to argue--but any photos I can pull up of Rock Pigeons don't show the particular markings of this bird.

Both are commendable. Much of the rest of their activity, or lack thereof, was not. While several members tried to get some things done, in the end, once again, lethargy won.
