Fishing in Williamsburg County.

Editor County Record
We are told that there is an act
of the legislature which prohibits
the stretching Of fish nets or traps
across navigable streams during
certain months of the year. II
there is snch an act, please be
kind enough to publish same or
give substance OF it for the benefit
Of a great many interested par
ties. The writer, as we'll as others,
has land extending to the run of
Mingo Swamp, and when not OBJ
structed a great many fish find
their way up to our lakes during
the spring and summer months
which makes 1t pleasant as well
as profitable in spending day
fishing with hook and line. For
the last year or so our lakes have
YIELDED very poor returns for a
day at angling, and we believe
The cause to be that of obstruction
of the stream. s;
Black Mingo, S. c. May IA, '97.
