Summary

The January 1975 Beaver Beacon reprinted a state notice listing Barneys Lake among Charlevoix County waters where northern pike could be taken at any size under the cited statutory authority.

Evidence and limits

This record captures the newspaper’s regulatory notice. It does not substitute for the original state regulation, establish enforcement, or provide a fish population survey.

Sources

  1. Reprints a state regulatory notice saying unusual conditions and excessive northern-pike populations justified taking northern pike at any size under the cited Michigan statute and amendments, and lists Barneys Lake in Charlevoix County. The issue is a reprint, not the original regulation, enforcement record, or population survey. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
