Summary

This 1908 federal overview lists Beaver Island, Lake Michigan, as an egg-collecting station for lake trout in the Bureau of Fisheries’ Great Lakes operations.

Evidence and limits

The table distinguishes egg-collecting stations from hatcheries. It therefore supports a 1908 station role for Beaver Island, but not a hatchery building, permanent facility, precise location, production total, or operating chronology.
