KY Afield Outdoors: Deciphering spring white bass runs

Green River Lake is one of those lakes poised for a white bass breakout. Anglers should search the Robinson Creek arm from Wilson Creek up to the KY 76 Bridge (Knifley Road) and in the Green River arm above Holmes Bend.

By Lee McClellan

Frankfort, KY - This spring seems like one long continuation of late winter. As soon as we get a warm day, the temperature plunges and we are back in February again. It even snowed on Monday of the third week of April.

This up and down weather combined with cold rains has the spring fishing season behind by a few weeks. The spawning runs of white bass into the headwaters of reservoirs are scattershot so far this spring, with some movement followed by retreat.

"I don't think the white bass have really had a chance to run yet," said Ron Brooks, director of Fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "I think the fluctuating water temperatures are screwing them up a bit. We need a sustained warm front to get them going."

Carol Perkins: Girl & Boy things, back then, and now

Things have changed from back in the day: "A boy tended to go for the more fragile girl 'back when.' He didn't want one who could jack up and car and change a tire (unless he didn't know how). He didn't want one who could throw balls at milk bottles and knock them down when he couldn't! He didn't want one who could fight like a man (unless he couldn't). New husbands were surprised to discover girls weren't helpless after all. - CAROL PERKINS
The next earlier column: Investigative reporting is hard on the ego

By Carol Perkins
Girl things and boy things. Back in the day, certain activities were for boys and certain ones were for girls. For instance, cooking and sewing were for girls. Building and hunting were for boys. Girls took Home Economics classes; boys took Ag. classes. Girls never called a boy; boys asked for dates. Girls tried to look fragile; boys wanted to look tough. Girls went to beauty shops; boys went to barbers. Today, the idea of girl things and boy things is absurd.
