WHITE FISH RETURN
After twenty-five Years of Alb.
sence White Fish Are in Lake
Off kenosha Again
800 POUNDS IN FIRST CATCH

Considerable excitement has been
caused among Kenosha fishermen on ac-
count Of the great catches of white fish
made in the lake off Kenosha on Wed
nesday and it is claimed that the big
catches indicate that the white fish which
deserted the lake about Kenosha more
than twenty five years ago, are return
ing and that the fishing industry about
the city will be much more profitable
in the future. For good many years
Kenosha lovers Of white fish have been
forced to depend on Lake Superior for
fish, but it is thought that from now on
white fish will be served on Kenosha
tables the same day they are caught.
Fishermen claim that it has been full
ly twenty-five years since a catch Of
white fish was made off Kenosha. In
the meantime a single white fish has
been picked up now and then and quite
Ia number of black fms have been
found in the nets. Before that time
Kenosha was noted as a place for white
fish. It is now thought possible that
the fish have deserted their feeding
grounds further north about the Green
Bay neighborhood and are returning to
this end Of the lake.
The big catch yesterday was made
by Joerndt and Borkenhagen. The
fishermen had set their nets for trout,
but when the nets were lifted they
were found to be filed with white fish.
There were more than 300 pounds Of the
white fish and less than half as many
trout. The men are out again today
lifting the nets and there are many
eager watchers to see if the catch of
white fish is repeated. The catch in
the past has been largely trout off
this port and it has proven a profitable
business for the fishermen. However,
it is claimed that with white fish in
stead Of trout in the nets the fishing
would be great deal more profitable
for the men engaged in the business.
The fish caught on Wednesday were
nearly all sold to the local dealers and
for the first time in many years Ke-
nosha people are serving strictly fresh
white fish on their tables today.
