Summary
The November 1962 Beaver Beacon reports that 216 fishermen spent 294 hours fishing Fox Lake and caught 166 trout during the earlier season. It says the lake was then restocked with 3,000 legal-sized brook trout and that sample netting found some fish weighing more than a pound.
Evidence and limits
The catch, stocking, and weight figures are newspaper-reported. They are not a complete creel census or fisheries survey.
