There had to be a better way than subdividing it into 3-acre tracts. Maybe there is. Barr sold his cattle and a good bit of his machinery, and in late February opened his 2-mile stretch of Dunlap Creek to pay fishing. So far, about 300 guests have come to fish. There is plenty of that.
Reservations are limited to eight anglers a day.
The concept isn't entirely new for the region. A few seasons ago, Barry and Kathleen Goodwin opened their 250-acre working farm to fly fishermen. An old grist mill was turned into a fly shop. Beaver Dam Falls Farm. This year, Demian Wiles became the farm's fishing guide and instructor.
