  • Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Decoding the White Bass Runs
    Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lee McClellan [email protected] 1-800-858-1549, ext. 4443 Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Decoding The White Bass Runs (Editors: This is the third installment of the “Spring Fishing Fever” series of articles, detailing productive fishing techniques and opportunities across Kentucky. The series will continue until early summer. An archive of past articles is available on the department’s website at www.fw.ky.gov). FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 21, 2019) – With all of the rain we received early this year, many Kentuckians are wondering when will the white bass run. “We are about there, 60 degrees is the magic number for water temperature,” said Mike Hardin, assistant director of Fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “The redbud blooms are as good an indicator as anything.” Redbud trees began displaying buds in parts of central Kentucky over the past 10 days. “We haven’t missed anything yet and the run may arrive on time this year,” Hardin said. “Last year was spotty, starts and stops with the fish as confused as the anglers. We had up and down weather and water levels.” Reports surfaced last week of a few white bass making a headwater run in the Salt River above Taylorsville Lake, but nighttime temperatures in the 20s this week blunted that movement a bit. “This week, the night temperatures are increasing, so you won’t get those big cool downs as much now,” Hardin said. “It will be warmer compared to what it was.” Lakes are dropping dramatically, allaying concerns expressed by anglers about the impact on the white bass runs from the record or near record water levels in some of our major reservoirs in February.

  • Kentucky Vacations in Your Own Backyard
    Kentucky Vacations in your own Backyard Today there are more than 50 Kentucky state parks, including Resort Parks that feature lodges, cottages, restaurants, campgrounds and trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. There are Historic Sites that tell about Kentucky’s history from prehistoric times to the days of the Civil War, Native Americans and the early pioneers. Many of these historic locations have museums or historic buildings that make great places for family visits. Recreation Parks feature campgrounds, picnic areas, swimming areas and trails. One park is an Interstate Park, shared with the Commonwealth of Virginia. State Parks are parks or protected areas managed by the states. Usually they are established to preserve a location because of its natural beauty, historic interest or recreation potential. The development of state parks in the United States generally paralleled the development of the U.S. national parks. The oldest state park in the United States is Niagara Falls, established in 1885. The first U.S. National Park was Yellowstone, established in 1872. Until the development of parks in the United States, the great areas of land with natural beauty and historic significance had only been set aside for the wealthy, such as kings and noblemen. National parks and state parks reserved the lands for everyone. The parks movement began in the United States and has since been accepted and copied throughout the world. During WW I, visits in Europe were closed to tourists from the United States and other countries. The theme, “See America First,” was promoted as never before and concentrated on the beauty of the American landscape, especially those in the western states.

    KENTUCKY STATE REPORT May 2021 Rich Storm, Commissioner Brian Clark, Deputy Commissioner Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) #1 Sportsman’s Lane, Frankfort, KY 40601 Fisheries Division Habitat Program During the 2020 calendar year, KDFWR’s habitat branch and districts staff worked on several large-scale fish habitat projects in the state. Phase 3 of 7 was completed in Barren River Lake, including 45 new fish habitat sites with 1,300 habitat structures including large cedar trees, pallet structures, rock/log spider hump structures, deep water stake beds, plastic trees, mossback structures, and bamboo bundles. Reservoir Fish Habitat Partnership’s Friends of Barren River Lake partnered with KDFWR on a $1000 grant to build rock/log combo structures for bass and crappie. Ten structures were built in two locations with 75 tons of rock and 120 cedar logs. The Northwestern District staff partnered with the USACE on a Reservoir Fish Habitat Partnership grant in 2018 that allowed for the purchase of $30,000 worth of reef ball molds and accessories. In 2020, as part of this partnership, district staff participated in training by Reef Innovations to construct reef balls. Training allowed for the construction and deployment of 27 reef balls at Nolin River Lake. An additional 32 pre-constructed reef balls purchased by Nolin River Lake USACE were deployed. Northwestern district staff also partnered on a USACE Handshake Grant that allowed for the purchase of additional reef ball molds and materials. Western District Fisheries staff partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Barkley, the Kentucky B.A.S.S Nation, U.

Schaefer III August 2016 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Completing this thesis, and, to a large extent, graduate school in general, to say the least, has been a journey. Journeys are often fraught with heartache and hardship, but they are also full of fun and excitement, and this adventure was no different. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded with a group of amazing friends and a mentor without whom this thesis would not have been possible.
