Summary
Herb Lees Sr. caught a 6 lb. 13 oz. steelhead in Lake Geneserath during the period covered by the October–November 1972 Beaver Beacon. The report says heavy rain kept Cables Creek open between Lake Michigan and the inland lake.
Evidence and limits
The source gives no exact catch date, photograph, measurement method, or independent fishery record. Its creek-and-lake route is preserved as the newspaper’s explanation, not as a hydrological reconstruction.
