Reports from Mrs J E B Crawford buying fish at the local market indicate a quiet fishing period. Highlands Lake yields anglers with bass catches averaging around four pounds per fish and several notable catches including six bass by Ben Lear and a three to five and a half pound specimen. Other groups at Highlands Reservoir and Heald Bank report mixed success as weather and winds slow bites, with parties losing lines and gear in rough water.
