Anglers to face higher than normal water levels

The Hoosier Division Walmart BFL will visit Patoka Lake Saturday May 17 after rescheduling the first event due to high water conditions.

As of this writing it is listed at 7.4 feet above summer pool. On-site registration will be held May 16 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Wal-Mart store located at 4040 Newton St. in Jasper. Entry fees are $200 for boaters and $100 for co-anglers.
