Abstract:
The reason the modern fisherman has better catches than his father and grandfather is because the new fishing holes are scientifically planned, stocked, fertilized, and managed; whereas the old fishing hole was left to nature. Dotted over the map of North Carolina are more than 2,000 artificial fishing ponds, most constructed to obtain additional income through fishing fees, afford the landowner (sportsmen) a well-stocked fishing site, and to increase the property value of the land.
