Meet the new fisheries director on this week’s Kentucky Afield

August 10, 2009 by admin

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources welcomes a new face to Kentucky fishing on “Kentucky Afield” television, August 15 and 16.
Although Ron Brooks is no stranger to the state’s waters, Kentucky’s new fisheries director enjoyed a warm welcome from a limit of striped bass at Lake Cumberland. On a mid-summer fishing trip, Brooks joins host Tim Farmer to chase the big ones and get an inside look at what’s ahead for anglers and angling in Kentucky.
Also on the show is a new twist on spyware. Morgan County’s Steve Bailey has developed a web-based wildlife surveillance system landowners can use to peek at what’s prowling on their property. Part of the system is already in your pocket – a cell phone. As white-tailed deer season approaches, so does demand for the technology. Farmer gets a demonstration.
Lastly, striper linguini anyone?
