FARM SUPPLY RR3, •'iich Phone 2364934 especially needed! This week we have a report from Mr. Stan Smith on the fishing situation in Lake Huron dufing the past year and as it stands at the present time. Mr. Smith's account is as follows; "In niy 35 years of fishing, last spring was the most exciting! Never dreamed Cohoe salmon would be netted. Two to three pounds was the average weight. By June, with their rapid growth they were five pounds. Fishing under the ice in Januarythey went up to eleven pound. So the future looked good!" Then the pollut- ion scare carne. The Americans can't fish them commercially and closed the ' customs to ship- ping claiming Mercury and DDT, All fish are under tests now and we will be given notice this weekend on the results; to fish or sit an the fence till this mess is cleaned up. We expect part of Lake Huron to be closed, no doubt the lower end. Conservation officers advised me a few years back we should fish out the Lake so we can quit. (I see their point now). Anyhow I am sure the fish caught in this area will be okay. " If the weather turns warm the smelt should be running next week."
