Fishing has been pretty good lately at the community fish pond at Westwood Park. Just ask Jim Armbrister, a local resident who took his two sons fishing there last week. He captured this photo of the big moment after a good-sized catfish was pulled from the Tumbling Rock Reservoir by his sons, from left, J.R., 6, and Marshall, 4. They are seen on a pier at the public fishing area off Galax Trail.
