Abstract:

Three marsh dwellers, the native muskrat, nutria, and beaver, live in North Carolina. The nutria is a large, semi-aquatic rodent native to South America. The animal was introduced into the country in the 1930s; private interests released it in North Carolina in 1941. Nutria weigh between 15 and 20 pounds, have grayish-brown fur, a long, round tail with little hair, and are strictly vegetarian.

Since 1976, North Carolina has required hunters to report their big game harvest. Game managers use this information to make decisions affecting hunting seasons, bag limits, and other regulatory matters. Report Number 11 covers the 1986-1987 hunting season and lists statistics by counties for game harvests of black bear, white-tailed deer, wild boar, and wild turkey.

Abstract:

North Carolina's lakes, rivers, and streams provide some great fishing experiences. Unknown to many anglers is the fact that some of the best fishing in the state is found in small, well-managed municipal lakes in the Piedmont. Jones discusses where to find these urban lakes for largemouth bass, crappies, channel catfish, and others.
