Recently I got to spend a Saturday with my nephew fishing for crappie in Angler’s Cove. When he was younger we frequently fish together and had the opportunity to introduce him to hunting.
After graduating High School he did a six year tour of duty with the Air Force, married, and then received an electrical engineering degree from Louisiana; all the time honing up on his fishing and hunting skills. This was apparent from our limit of crappie that may have consisted of a few more of his fish than mine. 
He has only been working in the area for a few weeks and has already gotten back into the swing of things with a huge Musky and some nice small mouth from Bull Run Steam Plant. His specialty is grappling for catfish in June and July and stripper fishing. The first I will probably not be joining him in.
The crappie fishing is excellent and should be good for a few more weeks. Bow fishing is starting to pick up with carp moving into the shallows, soon to be followed by gar. Bream and shell crackers (red ear sunfish) will be here in May followed by white bass and strippers in June.
Turkey season reports are good with lots of birds being seen. TWRA stocking efforts have defiantly paid off. Now that the hens are starting to nest, the toms should be on the move again. This will give the hunters a better chance to bag one.
The short morel mushrooms season is here. I found a few last week and took my wife this pass Sunday afternoon to try to find a new spot locally. Between the steepness of the hills, bugs, spider webs, and everything else she does don’t like, we came back empty handed and to the conclusion that she will not be joining me on any further mushrooming trips.
Take someone fishing, Greg
