Fishing
Prospects
With the opening of fishing
season this weekend, Wfillow,
Rhea and Rock Creeks should
produce fair catches of rainbow
trout that have carried over
from last year. Bull Prairie
Lake has been producing limit
catches of rainbow and eastern-
brook trout.
Some winter fish loss has
occurred at Lake Penland and
the lake is still covered with ice.
The ice is unsafe for access on
the lake. Fish loss was due to a
vegetative decaying process
throughout the winter using ud
the dissolved oxygen. This
occurs during the first year of a
new lake and should discontinue
after the second year.
Fish releases will start on
May 2nd for this area with legal
fish. Twenty-five thousand fin
gerling fish will be restocked at
Penland this year. Fish releases
will start on May 2nd with
legal -sized fish in Rhea Creek,
Willow Creek and Cutsforth
Park.
