Summary
The August 1974 Beaver Beacon reports that smallmouth bass fishing around the outer islands had recently been excellent before the fish stopped biting. It also reports that Don Welke planted pheasants on his farm, with follow-up details deferred.
Evidence and limits
These are community observations and a reported private planting, not a fishery survey, stocking authorization, wildlife census, or evidence of pheasant survival.
