deaner,
There was an article on this topic in the Dallas Morning News Sunday edition, the last week in July. The net of the article was that a group of investors established a "Fishing Club", membership required. The Club has access to private lakes for "memebers only" by leasing exclusive fishing rights for memebers with individual pond owners. Seems they were have a good run at it according to the article...perhaps there are some Fishing Clubs in your area?
