Nu Frontier Tour Stops In Frankfort KY
If you haven’t heard already Blake and Deanna Young of NuCanoe hit the road over a month ago, turning the country with two of their newest kayaks the Frontier 12. This Saturday their stop is Canoe Kentucky in Frankfort. If you want to come out and see the new kayaks you can check out the event details on the events map.
A day on the Creek with KKFA
Bass On The First Cast
We got to the lake right as the Sun was rising and before getting into the kayaks, Joe made a cast along the shore with a top water… Bam first cast and he has a bass! I quickly follow suit throwing a Pop-R and managed to catch 3. 4 Bass in the first 5 minutes of being there; and we were still standing at the launch… This was going to be a good day!
The Act Of Kayak Fishing
I ended up having a great evening on the creek last Friday. The water levels were good and the water itself was fresh, not stagnant as it occasionally gets towards the end of summer. There was the slightest telltale hint of that crisp autumn air that seems to re-energize after a few weeks of summer's dog days. I caught a few bluegill on my fly rod and a little fatty of a spotted bass.
Small Water Gem… Right in the City!
I often find myself heading to McNeely Lake for a quick trip especially when the creeks are blown out and I can’t chase the brown fish. McNeely is a small lake inside the Louisville, Kentucky city limits. It is often overlooked by bass fisherman because of its small size and motor restriction. Only electric motors are allowed. The lake also had a bad shad overpopulation problem back in the 80’s which made bass fishing and pan fishing poor at best.
Did I Hook A Trout?
After buying a kayak last summer to replace my trusty old Trout Unlimited Madison I met up with the folks from Yakangler.com. The first kayak fishing trip they had planned was for the coming weekend on the Cumberland River, premium trout water!

Review TFO fly rods
Last October at our first-ever kayak fishing tournament in Kentucky I was lucky enough to win a fly rod donated by Temple Fork Outfitters and Reel Recovery. TFO makes affordable, high-performance fly rods, and if you haven't heard of Reel Recovery, they're a national, non-profit organization that conducts free fly fishing retreats for men recovering from all forms of cancer. Something that inspires me a great deal after having lost my husband to cancer in 2008.
CKO Post Tournament
We had 17 anglers brave the 28 degree temperatures last Sat morning for Kentucky's first kayak fishing tournament. Some kayaks had a white layer of frost but that didn't slow anyone down. For most, it was their first tournament. First place in the Men's division was Brian Sloan with a total fish length of 31.875. Second was Gene Nelson with 14.25. There was only one youth, Carrie Slone and she did catch a total of 11.625". No one caught fish in the women's division so their names were drawn for first place, Melinda Stein and second to Leslie Price.
CKO Kayak Fishing Tournament Results
The CKO Kayak Fishing Tournament kicked off its inaugural event this past weekend at Lake Cumberland. Not only was this the first kayak fishing tournament for CKO it was also the first Kayak Fishing Tournament to ever take place here in Kentucky.
For many of the kayak angler’s participating in this event it would be their first kayak fishing tournament and or their first Catch-Photo Release style event. We were excited to see the CKO Tournament was able to introduce so many new anglers to this tournament format. We were also excited that CKO owner Susan Powell asked us to be one of the title sponsors to this event.
