Clinton Lake near Lawrence, Kansas, projects to be a leading fishing destination as stocking programs and facility builds expand. Project Manager Victor Counts cites 570,000 visitor-use days last year with half for fishing, while 14 million fish were stocked in fall 1977 and spring 1978. The 58.5 million-dollar dam and lake, built by the Army Corps of Engineers, will dedicate July 5, alongside new ramps, marina, beaches, roads, and buildings to boost recreation this year.
