Fishing Elkhorn Creek: Compleat Angler Depleating the Stream

2018-07-22 - Elkhorn Creek, Franklin County, KY - Photo by Pen
The quiet scene is a bit deceptive. The stream is so popular with kayakers that it is sometimes tough for a diligent, ambitious young competitive Collins Titan fishing team member to get in all the practice he needs. Evan wasn't as excited about the outside possibility that he might compete in the Cabela National Fishing Tournament in 2020 as we'd expected. He's getting expert inside tips from his cousin Blake Cowan, but worries that any tournament on smaller lakes may "pressure" the lake, depleting it of fish the rest of the season. In Elkhorn Creek, he's in no danger of pressuring, or overfishing, the stream, as, he reasons, the kayakers make it more difficult to catch the abundantly stocked stream. - Granddad, Ed Waggener

Kayaking - for mind, body and soul

2018-07-22 - Green River, Green County, KY - Photo from Mitzi Bault
Nine humans and one dog enjoyed a day of Kayaking - it is recommended by Kayaker Mitzi Bault as one of the best things to do for mind, body and soul. In no particular order, the party includes Jim & Sara Sproles, Greg Willis, Robin Curry, Mr. & Mrs Simpson & their dog, and Sharon Sroka. We put in at Ralph Vaughn Road and paddled down to the Green County Paddling Park. Mitzi Bault

Sandy and Rick Wilson are following their calling to lead the Paz Holley Project which is within $48,000 of its goal $108,000 for getting a permanent home for a family of twelve - ten children and their parents. The Wilsons were at Farmers Market on the Square in this photo and they work for the family everywhere they go until the goal is met - the goal is by Thanksgiving 2018. Accelerated completions of earlier pledges, added to new donations in the past 2 days, unofficially have kickstarted the project, One could be a major hero by writing a check for that amount today, or for 38 others - one a day for 38 days. Though Thanksgiving Day 2018 is the target goal for moving the family into their new home, the sooner for a story which has captured the hearts of South Central Kentucky and caring people across the country. -EW.
