Summary

The September 1962 Beaver Beacon reports that 460 any-deer permits were available for Beaver Island. It also says seven Wabash anglers successfully returned to fish for bass after earlier visitors reported catching 20 pounds at Barney’s Lake.

Evidence and limits

The article preserves the reported permit availability and fishing account. It does not establish permit allocation, a verified catch total for the later trip, or a biological assessment of the lake.
