Christmas Trees To Boost Fishing In Lake Lawtonka
Local sports writer notes city council and Ward 5 councilman Stitt Pair persuaded garbage collectors to save discarded Christmas trees for sinking in Lake Lawtonka. Boats donated by Police Chief Ralph Hennessee aid the effort to create brush piles and feeding grounds, anchored to oaks to prevent floating. Fishing remains limited in Comanche County as cold weather and hunting seasons restrict activity, with crappie near the Lawtonka dam and sandies along Red River.
