It’s not a secret that most of this area has received a significant amount of rain over the past two weeks. Randolph County Conservation Agent Zack Barnes says that traditionally has an impact on fishing.

If you are going to be on the water over the holiday weekend, or spending some time in the woods, Barnes has some advice.

Barnes says it’s also important to make sure your boat has all of the required safety equipment, including life jackets for everyone on board.
