Smallmouth, Big Fun This Weekend On "Kentucky Afield" TV

FRANKFORT, Ky. – One thing that makes Kentucky a keeper is smallmouth bass fishing. Catch the details on “Kentucky Afield” television this weekend, Aug. 7 and 8.

On central Kentucky’s Elkhorn Creek, time is also set adrift. Professional guide David Rodgers of Scott County and host Tim Farmer say fishing rods were made for days like this as smallmouth bass make for big fun on the water.

Also on the show, we know what some kids did on their summer vacation - conservation camp. With activities such as hunter education, boating, archery and fishing, even Farmer feels like a kid again. We travel to Camp Robert Webb in Grayson to see why.

Lastly, hunters have deer season in their sights. This weekend, we call upon experts Harold Knight and David Hale for their game calling advice to pull the whitetails into range.
