SOUTH CAROLINA (Cont. ) 



2. Camp Croft Public Fishing Area. (FA: F-3-D)* 



An earthen dam has been constructed impounding a 38-acre lake. The pond 

 will be fertilized and stocked with bass and bluegills after the existing fish 

 population is removed through use of rotenone. 



Near Spartanburg; began July 1953, to close Junel954; $26,780; Jefferson C. 

 Fuller, Jr. , Leader.

1. Lake Survey. (FA: F-l-R in part) 



A lake investigation is conducted primarily to provide a basis for recommend- 

 ing poisoning or commercial fishing activities; to point out future managennent 

 needs; to improve fishing regulations; and for educational purposes. Nets are used 

 to determine fish population structures. Creel census is used to evaluate fish 

 population alterations. Special activites in lake work include: (1) an evaluation 

 of intensive bullhead removal (over 285 tons in 2 years) from a 3,200-acre lake, 

 (2) a continued study of fish population trends in Angostura Reservoir- -a new 

 5, 500-acre impoundment, (3) eradication of warm-water fish from an 18. 5-acre 

 trout lake, and (4) an experiment involving partial poisoning of a heavy crappie- 

 bullhead-carp population. Follow-up plantings of largemouth bass and northern 

 pike will be made to see if a more balanced population can be established, and 

 if so, for how long. 



Statewide; began November 1951, continuing; $18,000; William D. Clothier, 

 Leader.

2. Black Hills Trout Stream Investigations. (FA: F-l-R in part) 



Stocking' of three species of fingerling trout, and more recently, those of 

 legal size, constitutes the major fisheries management tool for Black Hills trout 

 streams. Quantitative information on habitat conditions, population structures, 

 fishing pressure, and other factors which influence survival and harvest are 

 almost wholely lacking. Population and creel census checks on portions of three 

 trout streams during the fishing season represents the first phase of an evalua- 

 tion of stocking results. Equal numbers of marked brown, brook and rainbow 

 trout (10-13 inches in total length) were planted at regular intervals in two of the 

 study streams; the third received brown trout only. 



Northern Black Hills, Lawrence and Pennington Counties; began June 1953, 

 continuing; $2,500; William D. Clothier, Leader; reports available.
