Summary
The June 1965 Beaver Beacon reports that bass season opened on June 1. A comparatively small number of fishermen tried the waters around Garden and Hog Islands during the first weekend, with reports of good smallmouth catches.
Evidence and limits
This is a local fishing report, not a creel census, license record, or fishery survey. Its perch reference records reported catches without establishing a population trend.
Sources
- Reports the June 1 bass-season opening, comparatively few fishermen around Garden and Hog Islands on the first weekend, and reports of good smallmouth catches. It also notes earlier harbor perch catches by Ron Wojan and Al Dobler, but supplies no creel census, license data, or independent catch record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1965-06_Beaver-Beacon
- The held seven-page issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the published notice or report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1965-06_Beaver-Beacon
