That

Hi,

"To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on nine different floors." [Ernest Hemingway.]

Is the word "that" a conjunction introducing a nominal clause that no one else was allowed to fish in or is it a relative pronoun in the sentence?

Thank you.
