The sights and sounds of wild turkeys strutting and gobbling send chills down a high-school senior?s spine. Her father would take her turkey hunting, but she would have to complete a hunter-education class first. It is easier to enjoy the outdoors through television, so she never experiences the spine-tingling excitement of turkey hunting first-hand.

The pitch: There’s this guy, a Californian. Goes by the name Skeet. He’s 38. Still has a little dye in his hair. Drives a big, yellow truck. The thing holds 214 gallons of gas, tows a sleek boat. He’s made himself into one of the elite anglers on the professional fishing circuit, but he can’t escape his past dancing for money on nightclub stages and in nightclub cages.

If you want a simple short-cut to carp fishing success you’ve come to the right place. This advice applies to any form of fishing because it is so vitally important. Here is a list of simple details that I wish I’d discovered when I began carp fishing when information was in much shorter supply. Over the years I have been shocked by the number of newer carp anglers who over-look the ultimate importance of their hooks and their hooking efficiency. So many unnecessary blank sessions come from anglers not realising details they’re missing on the end of their line and more awareness of aspects of the part of their tackle that truly matters the most…

Stocking program allows opportunity to take rainbow trout Oct. 15-April 15
The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks’ (KDWP) trout program creates a popular winter opportunity for anglers across the state. This stocking program provides fish at 27 sites across Kansas and affords fast action when other fishing can be slow. Rainbow trout, native to cold waters, can thrive in Kansas winter pools.
