Summary
The November 1969 Beaver Beacon reports a 9.5-pound brown trout caught off Beaver Haven’s dock, another trout caught nearby, and a same-day catch of three coho by Perry Cliff and two by Ralph Morrill near St. James. The reports led the paper to suggest that St. James Harbor could offer substantial future angling.
