Charles Marshburn: Prefers weeds to trash along roadsides By Charles Marshburn Personal Commentary Personally, I prefer the weeds to the trash along side the road. The tractors uncover a lot of garbage and I presume it is illegally dumped. I know those unfortunate folks who live on 704 get tired of picking up the trash that others throw out of their vehicles as they pass. How about some help from those in charge in the county and let the weeds grow! 2017-06-08 15:26:42 | Comments | Printable version

KY Afield Outdoors: Encourage young anglers By Kevin Kelly Frankfort, KY - If free fishing weekend was a homerun with your kiddos, you might be wondering about how to keep the momentum going throughout the summer. Take a cue from them: keep it fun. Does this mean they need to catch a fish or get a bite every cast? Not necessarily. Fun can be wading a creek or floating down one for the first time in a canoe or kayak. Fun can be seeing how many different species of fish you can catch or how many fishing holes you can visit this summer. Fun can be catching your own live bait then using it to catch dinner. Fun does not have to be complicated, but finding the time can be for grown-ups. A memorable fishing trip does not require an entire day. Take off after work with your new fishing buddy and fish until dusk, or rise early and fish until mid-morning.
