However, the was will stocked with fish some —ago, and already the lake has uce d some good fishing. '8. Williams, director of parks creation for Bryan, said about «catfish were stocked in the M months ago. Thus far bank men have had good success catfish. JOObass were put in the lake 128 months ago, and many of tare up t 0 good size now. ®s said the largest bass taken jne lake has been about five ids. e possibility exists that there ® larger than the stocked fish slake. When the lake filled up, eredfiveor six large stock tanks may have had some good size in them. »ut 24 months ago, 100,000 |e were added to the lake. As ilhepark authorities know, no Fyet caught one of these fish. p“arks and Wildlife has taken Wes from the lake in the last prs to determine fish growth Wilbers, and their samples also t j^l any walleye. However, dVL & Wildlife was using gill land walleyes are not as likely to mght in them as are other ST | 4y! my! Q9i3( re is some very deep water in Pe; I have found some over 50 |®ep with a depth finder. The T<ye may be sticking to the sand avoiding detection, ptishermen are not used to fish- fof deep since hass are usually din relatively shallow water. If walleye did survive, however, sooner or later somebody’s bound to hook one. Walleye have been stocked in several Texas lakes in an effort to get them established. When we become accustomed to their hab its, we will have another fine gamefish to go along with the bass. I have fished in the Bryan Utilities Lake several times, mainly for bass. Last Saturday I fished in it for about 5 hours, and brought home only one fish. However, that one was a four pounder, so I didn’t consider the day a loss. I worked mainly the shallow water around the banks, thinking the bass would be in the moss and weed beds that are common around the lake. I did take 8 or 10 small fish that were under legal size, indicating that there has geen a fairly good spawn by the original stocked fish. From talking to people who have fished the lake, spinner baits seem to be a good choice for taking the bass. That was the case Saturday, because I offered them everything in my tackle box before trying on a char treuse spinner with twin blades. I got many more strikes from this bait than the others, although most of the fish were small. I pulled the four pounder from a thick moss bed, and hung another good fish from the same general area. Although I wouldn’t rate the Utilities Lake as high as other bigger lakes, it can provide some good fish ing that is close to home. The lake can be reached by heading north on FM 2818, passing under the high way 21 underpass. A couple of miles past 21 there is a sign which shows the way to the lake and park. It costs $2 per car to enter the park, and the permit is good for one day. I thought that was a little high at first, esspecially when I just wanted to fish for three or four hours. How ever, if I drove to Lake Somerville instead, it would cost at least two dollars for the gas, maybe more. For fishermen who don’t have much time for traveling to a lake, the Bryan Utilities Lake Park is conve nient and it’s not a bad fishing hole. team victorious By PAUL ARNETT The men’s water polo team, lead by freshmen Steve Spicer, defeated San Francisco State University last night 15-5. Spicer lead all point men scoring four goals, with Oran Marksbury and Jim Yates contribut ing three goals apiece. The Ags, playing in a California Tournamnent, have now played in 40 games without a loss. “We had a good team effort,” Coach Dennis Fosdick said. “We had good motion, good drives and good speed. Our performance has improved 100 per cent since our opening game victory over S. M.U.” The team began slowly against the California club, scoring only two goals in the first quarter. But it didn’t take the Ags long to shake-off those pre-game jitters as they scored four goals in the second quarter, adding three in the third and six in the fourth and final period. “We had a lot of new faces in our attack,” said Fosdick. “Our passing was off, but our defense was out standing. We played better as the game went on, and I am really happy with all those assists.” The Ags had 13 assists in the con test, lead by Marksbury and David Meek with three each. Fosdick played his entire team, and feels this will give everybody needed game experience. “The team we played tonight was not too good,” said Fosdiek. “Giving our guys the experience will really help in our two games that we play today.” The Ags play California State Uni versity and the University of Pacific, with each team giving the Ags their stiffest competition all year. Tournament play begins on Saturday, with the Ags playing Santa Clara at 8 a.m., followed by Fresno State at noon and California Univer sity at 4 p.m. California has won the NCAA title the past two years. If the Ags win all three then they will play two games on Sunday to determine the champion of that bracket. If they lose on Saturday, they will play only one game on Sun day in the consolation bracket. Fosdick’s six year record with the Ags is now 109-14-1.
