Fishing in Lake Brittle
Improving
State fish biologist Jack Sheridan of Culpeper reports that fishing is definitely improving in Lake Brittle, a popular 77-acre game commission-owned public fishing pond in Fauquier County.
A continuing creel- census has shown that as many pounds of game fish were taken per acre from that pond during May 1959 a» were caught during the entire season in 1958. he says.
The May catch figure of 12 pounds per acre_..-not considered high, but a vast improv ement over last year^was-'jafd to bethe rresult of both draining' of the pond and removal of bluegili of undesirable size last fall and the fertilization of .the pond this spring.
