A plan is being made because the Fish Commission's fingerling stocking program at the lake has been a total bust. When the Commission netted fish during the fall to take a survey of the lake's fish — they didn't get any fingerlings at all, Moase said. “We did catch trout, 15 to 29 inches. The majority over 20 inches,” Moase said. “There's nota whole lot available, but the ones that are there are big. We expected to see a number of different sizes ranging from 8 to 20 inches.” The Fish Commission has been stocking Harveys Lake with finger- lings for the past several years, but Moase said not a single fish that was captured in the fall was [rom those stockings. One of the factors may have been that the lake was stocked with spring fingerlings which are smaller than the fall fingerlings the commission originally planned to stock, Moase said. Harveys Lake also has a healthy population of Walleyes, which eat other fish, said Moase. However Lake Wallenpaupak also has a lot of Walleyes, and the fingerling stocking at that lake seems to be working out, Moase said. Moase said that Fish Commis- sion is expected to release a new plan for Harveys Lake sometime this week.

When Steve Leonardo brought his 15 years of experience in the dry cleaning business to Dallas, one thing he knew was that good service by itself would |; not be enough to reach his sales goals. Soon after opening Steven's Town & Country }.. Cleaners at the Country Club «oe Plaza, Steve began a weekly ad schedule with The Post. "We offer a full range of dry cleaning services, including wedding gown care," Steve said recently. "We felt The Post could help get our message out in a Steve. The Dallas Post Growing with the Back Mountain 309-415 Plaza, Dallas 675-5211 way that other media couldn't.” The message could be as simple as extended store hours, which in Town & Country Cleaners case means staying open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. The result, Steve said, is that his new venture is off to a good start, and he's made many new friends in the Back Mountain. Whether you're starting a new business or trying to expand an existing one, advertising in The Dallas Post can help. Just ask Do you Know where?
