Lake Texoma port authorities have come up with a novel, congenial, and undemanding way of fishing: the "Fisharena." This is a huge building built out over the lake, with a circular hole cut into the floor so that 500 anglers can fish the waters below at one time. In true Texas style, the Fisharena is heated...
