and we get more carp than cats al
though occasionally 1 catch a hamper
basket full of catfish and some of my
neighbors often have c; good luck.
We have no trouble in selling fish here
at the river for Is cents and 20 cents a
pound and carp sell about as readily
as catfish despite the fact that lots OF
people are prejudiced against them
There is comparatively little hook fish
inc. Oftentimes we catch great qaun-
titles of carp with oui bare hands.
That happens when the water in the
Aakes that are formed from backwaters
of the river become low and when the
carp founder helplessly in the mud"
