Comments on aerial photo of Campbellsville at night Rollin Knifley writes: This picture is beautiful, but at the same time a bit spooky. Not shown in the photo is the Campbellsville/Taylor County Airport (less than 3 miles), or the Taylor County Regional Hospital Helipad (less than a mile). Operating an aircraft, whether manned or unmanned, near an active airport or helipad, especially at sunset requires an increased level of situational awareness. It seems now, more than ever.

KY Afield Outdoors: Carolina rig for post-spawn bass By Lee McClellan Frankfort, Ky. - The calendar said June 1, but the cold northeast wind, chilly rain and leaden skies seemed more like a bad day on the opening weekend of the April Keeneland meet. June finally arrived in Kentucky this week and water temperatures in lakes across the state inched their way up toward the high 70s. "Black bass are in post spawn now," said Jeff Ross, assistant director of fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "They should be completely done with spawning." After undergoing the rigors of reproduction, black bass move offshore. "As water temperature rises, they move out on the drops," Ross said. "You can still catch big fish shallow, but you have a much better chance out deeper. You can also avoid the bank beating anglers."
