Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Float and fly catches bass

From Commonwealth News Center

It is now mid-January and the excitement of the holidays is gone till next December. Credit cards bills arrive in the mailbox and its a long slog before warm weather or any significant time off. The biggest bummer is the water temperature in most Kentucky lakes and rivers. It hovers in the mid-40s, which for most anglers means no fishing for at least the next six weeks.

Dont despair. The float and fly method suspending a light fly underneath a bobber lifts the wintertime, post-holiday doldrums with chunky, mean smallmouth bass, plus spotted and largemouth bass, bluegill and even the occasional walleye. The float and fly method utilizes a long spinning rod, 4- to 6-pound line and a tiny duck feather or craft hair jig to fool suspended fish in winter. The technique works best in the toughest lakes to fish such as Lake Cumberland, Dale Hollow Lake and Laurel River Lake. The float and fly will also work in the lower sections of Green River Lake, Paintsville Lake and Barren River Lake.

Lance Bean Travelogue: A visit to salt source

Lance Bean is an Adair Countian working as a private contractor on public works in Djibouti, Africa, near the Suez canal. His National Geographic style photos posted last week proved quite popular. This week, he sends photos taken on a day trip across the desert, though mountainous terrain to the coastal salt flats.

CM Middle East Correspondent
Saturday a few of us took an all day trip to travel to Lake Assai north of Djibouti.

This lake was formed by a volcano eruption and is the 4th lowest place on earth. Local tribes mine salt here for trade at the Red Sea ports.
