Summary

The June 1967 Beaver Beacon reported the opening of bass season, catches in the island harbor and nearby bays, and a Bureau of Commercial Fishing check that found no lamprey-eel larvae in island streams.

Evidence and limits

These are local newspaper observations and a reported stream check, not a creel survey, biological census, or complete fisheries assessment.

Sources
