For many hunters, they can’t wait for the fall hunting season to begin. That sure includes me. Dove season kicks things off statewide this month on Sept. 2. Time to pick up some game loads for that ol’ 12 or 20 gauge and choose a field. Many dove opportunities have been posted in GON, and…

Blue Ridge: Level: 3.2 feet below 1686. Temp: 84-86 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports: “Fishing has been fair.

Russell: Level: Full pool. Temp: 85-89 degrees. Clarity: Clear.
