WANT HATCHERY
FOR TWIN LAKES
Movement Started by Copper
Country Sportsmen

There is a movement on foot now
to interest the state fish commission
IN the matter of establishing a bass
hatchery in the copper country. It is
argued that conditions here are ideal
for this popular and gamey fish and ~
is not likely the project will lack for
support Twin Lakes has been sug-
gested as the best place for such
hatchery as local conditions there are
IDEAL Twin Lakes, especially Lake
Rowland has received attention from
the fish commission for years, and it
has been found that black bass do eX-
ceptiondlly well there, developing To a
large size and multiplying rapidly.
Twin Lakes is To be the location of
the new summer pleasure resort of
the Copper Range railroad and eX-
teusivc plans have been formulated
for making it one of the most poru-
lar amds, ment places in the state.
The road has secured control of forty
acres of land, most of which abuts on
Lake Rowland, the lower lake of the
twins. The underbrush and trees will
be cleared away early in the spring.
piers viii be built aud boat houses
erected and many amusement devices
viii be installed.
irwin Lakes has been described as q
sportsman's paradise and this is one
of the features which will appeal to
copper country and outside pleasure
seekers. Besides the black bass fish
ing, which is exceptionally good, there
are numerous streams nearby which
abound i'm trout, especially the Misery
river Some years ago parent rain
bow trout, from II to II inches In
length were planted in the lake Tor
stock purposes and already the re-
suit OF this foresight is apparent, for
last year some fine catches were made.
Beer are plentiful near the Twin
Lakes aud rabbits viii also attract the
hunters
Some improvements have already
been made at this popular resort and
several summer cottages have been
built there among them the homes of
