Frankfort, Ky. – Winter is prime time to catch hefty smallmouth bass. Watch “Kentucky Afield” television this weekend to see how a finesse fishing technique reels in the bronzebacks when it’s too cold for many anglers.

Host Tim Farmer joins Kentucky Afield magazine writer Lee McClellan for a day of bass fishing on Lake Cumberland using the float-and-fly technique. Essentially a fly suspended under a bobber, the technique is deadly for suspended fish in winter.

Farmer also visits Robert Dunaway of Tri-County Cycle Sales in Corbin for some advice on ATVs and how the four-wheelers can be used for habitat improvements as well as hunting. Farmer also learns some basic riding tips.
