Are you a good angler? Do you love to fish? I loved to fish with my Dad when I was growing up. When I was young, he took me ice fishing which was always fun. My Dad worked a lot, so it was nice to have that bonding time. I prefer fishing in a boat because it's peaceful on the water. My husband is an avid fisherman. On any given weekend, he loads the boat and heads to the lake. It's his happy place! How about you?

We have to wait until March for catfish to be stocked in our local ponds, but rainbow trout will be released on Thursday! If you like to fish, this is welcome news by KDFWR.

The lakes at Panther Creek Park and Yellow Creek Park will be stocked with rainbow trout on Thursday, February 2nd, 2023. Approximately 750 fish will be delivered to each lake by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Daviess County Fiscal Court Parks and Recreation is proud to partner with KDFWR on the Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINs) program, providing anglers with quality fishing opportunities close to home.

Get your kid hooked on fishing this year at our area parks. With the challenges of daily life, it will mean a lot to bond with your child and teach them about nature.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
