liiolo<rists Study
Lake lianlrop
Don't he surprised if. while you
are fishing at Lake Bastrop, a uni-
formed man asks you if you have
had any luck, lie probabh has «
professional interest in how you
are doing.
Chances are that the man will
be cither Inland Fisherie s Biologist
W. S. Boehm or Biologist Techni-
cian Calvin Wyalt of the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department
conducting a creel census on the
lake. Simply, I hey want to know-
how much of what kind ol fish you
| caught.
Boehni and Wyatt are working
on a five-year channel catfish stock-
{ing study at Ivike Bastrop. "We're
: trying to see if it is possible to
establish a channel catfish popula-
tion which will furnish fishermen
plenty of fish to catch and which
will sustain itself," said lioclim.
To do this, Boehm and Wyatt
arc trying to get a complete biolo-
gical and physical picture of the
906-ucre lake. The first two years
of research are preparatory to
when 10,000 ten-inch channel eat-
i lish annually will lie introduced in-
j to the lake for three consecutive
years.
I To aid in gathering data, the men
j are using 40 specially designed
; traps, eight gill ni ts at various
j denlhs, seines, and the creel cen-
sus. The traps and nets are mark
led by orange buoys which Boehm
i hopes will survive In raters and
j skiers.
"Although the traps and the nets
j are useful in gathering certain
types of data, the creel census is
| in many ways our most important
! source of information.'' says Boe-
hm. "Our success and failure in
i the slocking program will be
gauged by the success and failure
j of the fisherman, "
Two creel census check stations
have now been located at the North
and South Public Recreation An is
Boehm says they need information
from both successful and unsuc-
cessful fishermen to get a more

"After all," ttablet said, "Mi Pickle has shown great enthusiasm in clear-
