Summary
The July 1971 Beaver Beacon reported a good fishing season, with smallmouth bass available and large perch moving away from their earlier haunts. It also described Perry Gatliff’s technique for floating nightcrawlers above the sinker.
Evidence and limits
This is a community fishing report, not a creel census, fisheries survey, or complete catch record.
