Arthur Beal and crew who have
been clearing Lake Shetek of rough
fish are meeting with unusual success
Just as they had thought they had
finished their work. Two weeks ago
a single haul brought in 80 tons of
rough fish and Thursday another
haul Melted 70 tons being more than
they had received in two months
time straight. The unexpected haul
found them unprepared and it re-
quired day and night work for four
days to care for them. Mr.. Beal re-
ports that he has never seen as many
pickerel and game fish as are to be
found in Shetek this year over ten
ton of pickerel being brought up in
his last haul. A few pike also were
found but no perch. The lake is
high and with so much water going
over the dam, the fish come up the
river and into the lake. This will be
good news to anxious fishermen.
