KY Afield Outdoors: Fish hit close to home at FINs lakes

This is the first installment of the "Spring Fishing Fever" series, which details productive fishing opportunities across the state of Kentucky.

By : Kevin Kelly

FRANKFORT, Ky. - Heavy rain and a break from sub-freezing temperatures earlier this week melted snowpack still lingering from the last major winter storm to hit Kentucky and caused flooding just as another potent system took aim on the state.

The Weather Channel dubbed it, "Winter Storm Thor." Anglers itching to grab a rod and reel cursed it as they reached for snow shovels again.

The arrival of March is the start of a new license year in Kentucky and reassurance that spring is near. One of the best places to put a 2015-16 fishing license to use in early spring is at a Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINs) lake.

"As soon as you get the first couple of warm days in March, take full advantage of the nice weather and break that cabin fever," said Dane Balsman, urban fisheries program coordinator with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Road Conditions - 11am Update - KYTC District 4

By: Chris Jessie

With so much concentration on I-65, other roads in the district are also being cleared. As sun heats and melts this morning, compacted snow is very slick - similar to holding a wet ice cube. This is true on many main/primary routes. These routes are topped with 1-2" of ice as a result of compaction on Thursday. Refreezing overnight has created a reverse condition where plowed secondary roads (which were not as compacted) cleared more easily overnight and are in better shape than some primary roads. Plows can get a better "bite" on less compacted pavement.

This applies to all 11 counties in District 4. In all cases, motorists should slow down. Driving too fast for conditions can be linked as a contributing factor in most of the incidents through the district over the last 48 hours.

Today, with applications of heavy salt and calcium chloride, we plan to get down to pavement on nearly all routes.
