Louder, fishery biologist of the North Carolina Wildiile Commission, said Monday while making a pre liminary survey of Lake Tab or, that he. believe« that many of the existing problems plag uing V fislwrnen ther* jiT)ay be remecHwi— makes thor ough ^ tesS in Sie lake this Summer. The commission sent Louder after receiving a request from the Columbus County Wildlife Club. High among the com plaints is one that most of the fish caught from the lake are undersized. The tests, which are sched uled for the period in which Louder's team will be doing work in the Lumber river wat ershed and Lake Waccamaw, will require two days. The biologist has already, re commended that bag limis, as well as size limits, be remov ed. "The more fish are remov ed from ihe lake, the more the remaining ones will multiply," he said. As lor suggesting ways to depopulate the scavengerous species (Suckers, Back fish. Cat lish. Gar fish. Carp) as well as other "undesirables" (Roaches. Suckers and Crap pies), Lauder said that this must be considered after he iiins his tests in the Summer. LOWERING THE WATER· LEVEL Asked Columbus Wildlife President Ted Watts about the advisability of lowering the water-level each Winter. Laud •r s;iid that this is a very good ,)iact ee. "By lowering the water the smaller fish are required to leave the water's edge and go nto the main body of water." lie explained that this causes •i food supply for the larger fish. FISH GO DOWNSTREAM Lauder also recommended that a screen made of poultry wire be placed across the spill way "Contrary to the opinion of manp men, the larger fish, such as Bream and Bass, will 10 over the spillway and downstream." "They are like cows in knee high grass in a pasture; if they see a few sprigs outside the pasture, they will try to get to it." he said. Several stockholders have been asked to send scales from fish taken from Lake Ta bor fish. They are to be studied by the biologists who will be able to identify species, the year in which the fish were spawned, and gender of the fish. CHERRY GROVE REVIVAL The Rfv. Ο. H.
