| 6/17/26 |  #163 Marcy Anderson – Southeast Kentucky Fishing Hotspots & The Alabama Bass Threat | Southeast Kentucky is home to some of the state's most scenic and productive fisheries, and on this week's episode we're joined by Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Fisheries Biologist Marcy Anderson to talk about what anglers and outdoor enthusiasts can expect this summer. Marcy highlights several outstanding destinations for boating, kayaking, fishing, and outdoor recreation across the Southeast Region, including rivers and streams that support healthy populations of walleye, brown trout, and striped bass. Whether you're looking for your next fishing trip or simply want to explore some beautiful Kentucky waters, you'll find plenty of ideas in this episode. We also discuss the recent discovery of Alabama Bass in Lake Linville. Marcy explains why this invasive species is a concern for Kentucky's native fish populations, how it can impact fisheries management, and what Kentucky Fish and Wildlife is doing in response. | — | ||||||
