Productive Fishing During Deer Season

Kentucky offers some of the finest deer hunting found anywhere, and the modern gun deer season stands as one of the most anticipated opportunities each year.

Its allure draws many anglers away from the water in November.

“A lot of people start to put up their fishing gear this time of year and head for the woods,” said Dane Balsman, urban fisheries research biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “There are a lot of good fishing opportunities in the fall and a lot less pressure. You can have some of your best fishing this time of year."

Anglers don’t have to travel far to find a productive spot.
