Summary

The April 1968 Beaver Beacon reported that Karl Kuebler, Rogers Carlisle, Eddie Connaghan, and David Kujawa were nearing the five-beaver limit on their licenses. The issue also repeated that 10,000 rainbow trout would be brought to Fox Lake for planting and discussed the possibility of Coho reaching the island area later in the season.

Evidence and limits

These are local newspaper observations and expectations. They do not provide complete trapping returns, a stocking record, or evidence that Coho reached the island area.

Sources

  1. Reports four named trappers nearing their five-beaver license limits, a spring Fox Lake rainbow-trout planting, and local interest in possible Coho migration; it is a community report, not a complete harvest or fisheries survey.
