Summary

The Game Club reported planting 1,700 tiger muskies in Font Lake and 3,000 brook trout across roughly twenty Beaver Island ponds and beaver dams during summer 1984.

Evidence limits

The report describes intended fishery management, not independent stocking, survival, or sport-fishing results.

Sources

  1. Reports that 1,700 tiger muskies were planted in Font Lake and 3,000 brook trout in about twenty beaver dams and deep ponds, from Cornelius Swamp to Iron Ore Creek, to improve sport fishing. It is a newspaper report, not a stocking permit, biological survey, or population-outcome record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
