Big FISH JAM At
LAKE KAMPESKA
FIVE wAeoNLoADs TAKEN OUT

Special to The Journal.
WATERFOWL, s. D., Feb. s.-Last fall sand
bar formed across the outlet of Lake kampeska.
When the ice came this condition existed, and
therefore no fish have been able to get into
or out of the lake. Early this week there was
a movement of fish from the Sioux river to the
lake, and the result was that all kinds Of the
were acres and acres of fish averaging FIVE feet
in depth.
The fact became noised around and men went
out to enjoy the sport Of fishing thru the ice.
Over five wagonloads were taken out in one
afternoon. Men used pitchforks rakes, hoes,
spears, in fact anything, and seooped out Of
the water as they up for air pickere1
weighing from four to twenty pounds.
The immense mass Of fish contained almost an
inconceivable number. including all the varieties
usually taken from Dakota waters. Old fisher
in the spawning season say they have never
witnessed such scene, altho they have often
seen suckers and buffalo pushing into Lake KAN
peska until they crowded each other out OF the
water at the narrow outlet.
1t is believed that the fish are unable to get
a sufficient amount Of air in the river as the
extremely cold weather has frozen the Sioux solid
in places and thus forced the fish into the broad
and deep outlet Of the lake.
