Return to Story IndexWINTER FISHING
IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE WE'VE GOT SOME ON TIPS FOR FISHING DURING THE WINTER. When you have a warm winter like we are this year, it's awfully tempting to grab your pole and hit the streams looking for trout. But while it might be 65 outside, the water's still awfully cold..in fact, here outside Elkins, the water was 37 degrees and the trout were hunkered down. That calls for a different type of fishing. 16:10David Thorne, DNR says, "I'm going back and forth in the same area over and over. I have a good run here, it's deep, there is a lot of slow water along the edges and there is fast current up above which is where the insects and food is produced." But since it's cold, the trout's metabolism slows way down...they're awake, but are trying to conserve as much energy as they can. That means they're not going to attack your bait like they will in warm water, in fact, you might not even know they are hitting your bait at all. 15:004David Thorne, DNR says, "You really need a strike indicator or something to help you see the strike because you're not going to feel it, the fish are very gentle on the hit when the water is cold. you want everything in your power to increase your sensitivity to get your strike." And just because you're not getting a strike at first doesn't mean there aren't fish to be caught. David says you need to be patient and persistent. 16:29David Thorne, DNR says, "If thery're going to eat anything, they're gonna be up here in the shoots where the foods being carried down to them, so I'm going to through the shoots time and time again hoping a trout will take what I've got to offer." Also, make sure your hook has enough weight to bounce off the bottom..that's where trout hang out in the winter. Go out and have fun, if nothing else, you're fishing in an area some folks only dream about. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FISHING IN THE WINTER, GO TO OUR WEBSITE WCHS-TV-DOT-COM OR SHOOT PATRICK AN EMAIL.

IT MIGHT BE TIME TO TRAIN LIKE A STUNT MAN. CHECK OUT THIS WORKOUT. GET OFF THE TREADMILL, PUT DOWN THE FREE WEIGHTS--IT'S TIME TO SWITCH IT UP--I'M MEG BAKER AND WE'RE WORKING OUT LIKE HOLLYWOOD STUNT DOUBLES. SO I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS NEW FITNESS CRAZE- PARKOUR, A TRY. WHAT IS PARKOUR? IT'S A COMBINATION OF GYMNASTICS, FREE RUNNING, JUMPING AND CLIMBING. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT PARKOUR IS THAT IT'S REALLY A FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. YOU CAN REALLY EXPRESS YOUR OWN TYPE OF STYLE, MOVEMENT AND CREATIVITY. â¦SOME OF MY FAVORITE MOVES ARE JUST THE BASICS- YOU CAN GO VERY FAR JUST WITH THAT. ASIDE FROM THAT-- I WANNA SAY- YEAH A DOUBLE BACK FLIP HERE AND THERE. WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW IS HOW PEOPLE GET INTO THIS SPORT. mos1 says: "I just saw this stuff on youtube, of people jumping over bars, i thought it was awesomeâ¦i'm originally into break dancing and mma and it's natural for me to get into something new and crazy." mos2 says: "I got into parkour a couple of years ago-- if i remember correctly i saw a commercial and ever since then -- i did my research and i taught myself." AND WHAT GOT THEM HOOKED? BETTER THAN THE TYPICAL DAY AT THE GYM, JOGGING ON A TREADMILL. I'D RATHER BE JUMPING OVER THINGS, LIVING LIKE A ROCK STAR. SO IT'S FUN? mos3 says: "WHAT I LOVE ABOUT PARKOUR IS IT'S A FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION-YOU CAN REALLY EXPRESS THRU MOVEMENT, CREATIVITY." DON'T LET THESE FLIPS AND TRICKS SCARE YOU...CLASSES WARM UP TOGETHER THEN SEPARATE INTO BEGINNERS AND THE MORE EXPERIENCED. mos1 says: It's a sport where you can grow to many levels, unlimited. mos1 says: You are perfectly fine if you are not a gymnast. Anybody can pick up parkour. PARKOUR STARTED AS AN OUTDOOR PHENOMENON. OUR INSTRUCTOR SAYS THAT MOST PEOPLE APPLY WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED IN THE CLASS TO TAKING ON STREETS, BUILDINGS, AND EVEN STAIRS. SO WHENEVER YOU LEARN PARKOUR INDOORS, USUALLY PEOPLE WANT TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE. IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT MENTALITY, IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT CHALLENGE. SO WILL YOU TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE?

THE HOUSE WILL NOW TAKE UP THE ISSUES.
Return to Story IndexTATS AND TANNING
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

Return to Story IndexSCARY MOVIE SNACKS
BUT A NEW REPORT LOOKS AT HOW CERTAIN TREATS CAN TAKE A TOLL ON YOUR WAISTLINE, NOT TO MENTION YOUR WALLET. KARIN CAIFA (KAY-FUH) HAS MORE IN THIS CONSUMER WATCH. IT'S OSCAR SEASON, AND FOR MANY THAT MEANS A TRIP TO THEATRES TO SEE NOMINEES ON THE BIG SCREEN. THE NEW ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS LOOKS AT THE NUTRITION OF SOME POPULAR MOVIE SNACKS AND THE RESULTS ARE PRETTY SCARY. It's definitely the calories, it's the fat, the sodium. We found that you can get a day's work of calories and fat from just one tub of buttered popcorn and a large soda. So that's more than 2,000 calories and more than 65 grams of fat. BIGGER MAY BE BETTER FOR A BOX OFFICE BLOCKBUSTER BUT NOT FOR YOU AT THE CONCESSION STAND. THE CONSUMER REPORTS TALLY FOUND THE LARGEST SIZE BUTTERED POPCORN AT MAJOR MOVIE CHAINS COULD REACH AS MANY AS 1,591 CALORIES. CHEESE NACHOS, AS HIGH AS 907. PRETZELS AND CHEESE, AS MANY AS 1,056. AND NON-DIET SODA, REACHING ALMOST 700. YOU CAN'T BRING YOUR OWN FOOD TO THE MOVIE THEATRE, BUT YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR PORTIONS. DOWNSIZE ON THE EXTRAS TOO. Opt for things like plain popcorn. We found that you could save about 20 percent of the fat and calories when you skip the butter. Go for water. It's not as much fun as soda, but your waistline will thank you. CONSUMER REPORTS ALSO SUGGESTS EATING A MEAL BEFORE YOU GET TO THE THEATRE, SO THOSE JUMBO-SIZED SNACKS DON'T SEEM SO ALLURING. FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M KARIN CAIFA.

FIVE OF THE NATION'S BIGGEST BANKS WILL FORK OVER BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SETTLE CHARGES OF FORECLOSURE ABUSE. HOMEOWNERS WILL GET MONEY TO HELP THEM RE-FINANCE OR THEY'LL HAVE THEIR MORTAGE REDUCED. THE SIZE OF THE DEAL IS AN ESTIMATED $25 BILLION DOLLARS AND WOULD INVOLVE WELLS FARGO, BANK OF AMERICA, CITIGROUP AND JP MORGAN CHASE. SOME OF THE MONEY WOULD GO TO FORECLOSURE PREVENTION MEASURES SUCH AS LOWERING THE LOAN BALANCE FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE UNDER WATER. OTHER PROVISIONS COULD LOWER INTERST RATES FOR HOMEOWNERS. AND SOME HOMEOWNERS MAY GET PAYOUTS OF UP TO TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS.
