number of fish caught to 10 fish in
one day and the size of the fish
caught. Reasons for being opposed
To thia are that they are placing a
limit both on the number of flsh
caught and also place limitation on
how you catch them. Almost all of
the fishing at the upper endofthe
lake which is available from, Lam-
pasas is trot line fishing'and if we
are deprived of this right the upper
end of the lake will be worthless to
Lampasas County. It is also well
known that the upper end of the lake
is filling up with mud very fast and
we will probably not be able to fish
there more than five or six years.
Therefore, we should be allowed to
take advantage of this time. We urge
the people interested in this proposi-
tion to let their senator and repre-
sentative know how they feel about it.
Those present for the meeting
