BOOK EXPLAINS FISHING RULES IN MEXICO.

Byline: - Brett Pauly

If you are unfamiliar with angling restrictions south of the border and aren't sure how to educate yourself, help has arrived in the form of ``Mexico - Sportfishing Regulations: English-Spanish.''

Billed as an accurate and comprehensive translation of Mexico's current sport-fishing regulations, the 24-page booklet is designed to answer questions that ``regularly come up as to what is lawful in Mexico and what is not,'' according to translator Barnard R. Thompson, managing partner of San Diego's MIRA Associates. The professional-services and political-risk-analysis firm serves clients in Mexico and Central America and is publishing the work.

Also included with the unofficial translation is the original and official Spanish text.

Copies of the pamphlet are available for $10, which includes shipping and handling. Send a check or money order payable to Barnard Thompson and mail to: P.O. Box 33782, San Diego, CA 92163-3782.
