late fishermen have been catching con-
siderable whitefsh in the Ike off the
mouth of Thunder Bay. The fish are not

caught. On some lifts / ,l20 pounds of
whitefsh could be caught. The presence
of these fish would seem to indicate that
the whitefsh fry planted by the Fish
Commissions had be gun TO mature.
