Upcoming fisheries meeting

Public can learn more about fisheries issues in western Kentucky during Jan. 15 meeting

FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will conduct a public meeting Jan. 15 to discuss fisheries issues affecting western Kentucky.
While the primary focus will be on crappie and bass fishing in Barkley and Kentucky lakes, officials will also provide updates on Asian carp, habitat projects, catfish and paddlefish. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife employees also want to hear from the public on these topics.
This meeting is being held at the Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park Convention Center in Gilbertsville at 7 p.m. (Central time).

Thanks Brad, This should be informative.

Any chance someone will record this meeting and post it here at a later date? Would really like to know whats going on with that whole area.

I'll be there if at all possible. I wonder if the single pole folks will show up? Not hearing anything on the street.

Planning on attended myself. We'll make sure to pass along what info is shared.

I plan on being there if I can get away from work early enough.

Are they gonna discuss pole limits? I'm on the boat. Sure would like to be there!

Hey Brad, is there a printed agenda that you might be able to acquire....you do carry a gun!!

Hey guys, just real quick. I am staff limited and covered up with job duties. This meeting will start out broad. Sportfish (crappie, bass etc) populations in KY and Barkley lakes will be discussed. Results of the crappie stocking project (2009-2013) in Blood River will be mentioned. Other management strategies can be discussed, and why they are not likely to work at our lakes. We can discuss pole limits, but it is not something that is on our proposed management strategy for crappie. Concerns with crappie populations will be heard, and hopefully preceptions can be debunked. Asian Carp issue will be discussed. If you have specific questions, please feel free to post them on this sting, and we can be prepared to respond to them. I will be glad to post some minutes on here after the meeting.

Thanks, Paul. I have heard nothing of anybody proposing pole limits on the street. It is just something that comes up from time to time on some forums, usually somebody just stirring the pot.

Thanks Paul. What kind of habitat would be best put out for the small fry this may be something discussed if it will help the population

we use different types of habitat in our work on the lakes. We use oak and hickory tree tops for deeper brush. These tops are more open. This seems best for larger fish. While Christmas trees being more dense are better small fish.

And then times we will mix a few Christmas tree in with the brush out deep.

Thanks

Thanks Paul you are very helpful
