Noodling, pond fishing, Canada geese on KY Afield

By Scott Moore
News from the KY Fish & Wildlife Department

If you can't make a trip to Kentucky's larger lakes or streams, then great fishing is still waiting at a nearby farm pond. You'll see that story and more on "Kentucky Afield" television this weekend, July 10 and 11, 2010.

There's great bass fishing at farm ponds

From his cell phone, a private land owner showed our 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. We go to Fayette County for the proof.



Tim Farmer noodles for whopper catfish

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.

Canada Geese are molting flight feathers
Also on the show, we herd 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.

"Kentucky Afield" is a production of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. It is the longest continuously running outdoor television show in the nation. The program airs at 8:30pmET/7:30pmCT, Saturdays, and repeats at 4pmET/3pmCT, Sundays on KET 1.
