Thread: Redear fishin on Ky Afield TV

Trophy fishing, history of hunting and fishing, this weekend on “Kentucky Afield” TV


Frankfort, Ky. – One standout fishing opportunity has “Kentucky Afield” television and Kentucky Afield magazine doing double duty at Lake Barkley this weekend, June 27 and 28, on KET.

Trophy fisheries have always attracted the spotlight. Fishing guide Jim Doom shows us why. Redear sunfish keep the cameras rolling and the shutters snapping as the live well fills. We talk with Kentucky Afield magazine artist/photographer Rick Hill about the hooks his magazine will cover, and to “Kentucky Afield” television host Tim Farmer, who brings the limelight to life on TV.

A little farther east, hybrid striped bass have caught our eye. At Rough River Lake, Jeff Bratcher shows Farmer the lure these lunkers like best.

Lastly is part III of our three-part series on the history of hunting and fishing. Enter the era of habitat and species restoration, harvest regulations and the virtues of modern wildlife management in Kentucky and beyond.

Glad to hear that the show is still on.. I grew up watching "Hope Carlton" on Ky Afield..

Seen Ol Hope awhile back when I was home for a visit catching Stripers (rockfish to us redneck HillWilliams ) below Ky. Dam.

Website says it's the 4th longest running show in US history, right behind "Meet the Press", "The Today Show" and some soap opera ("Guiding Light", I think.)
