Lone Star Lake anglers fish five decades in Lawrence area
Queen Shorter and Linda Hunter, Lawrence transplants from the Mississippi Delta, have fished Lone Star Lake since 1965. They and their kin fish for crappie, catfish, and bass at the southwest Douglas County lake created by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. They say they just like to fish and come most evenings and weekends.
