Summary

The May 1963 Beaver Beacon reports a 76-acre controlled burn, clover planting, and mineral blocks for game range. It also describes Fox Lake trout fishing after a reported stocking of 3,500 legal-sized brook trout and asks anglers to register fishing time and catches.

Evidence and limits

These are newspaper-reported management actions and guidance, not permits, stocking invoices, or a complete creel census.
