FRANKFORT, Ky. (3/19/13) – Kayak fishing has been growing in popularity over recent years and a new fishing group in central Kentucky is bringing a great lineup of tournaments to the region.
 
The Bluegrass Yakmasters are set to begin their inaugural tournament season this April. They will host their first Open Tournament, sponsored by Bank of Lexington, on Saturday, April 6, at Cedar Creek Lake in Stanford.
