FISHING LAWS
PLAINLY STATED,

The fishing season opened Tuesday,
May Is, and it is now permissible to
take wall-eyed pike and northern pike
and other specified fish.
The lakes opened up the latter part
of last week. 1t was expected early in
the season that the lakes would be
open long before this but the cool
weather of the past few weeks retarded
the opening A few warm days early
last week coupled with a brisk warm
wind cleaned up the ice and when the
fishing season opened no ice could be
seen.
The trout seasons opened earlier and
many fine catches are reported. The
brook trout streams in this immediate
vicinity are LonStorf Greek and Sec
ton Thirty Creek. The latter is partly
in Lake County where the season is
not open until the middle of next
month. The great fishing grounds for
brook trout are located on streams
emptying into Lake Superior. Among
these close to Ely is the Isabella River
in Lake County.
The fishing regulations are about as
follows and it will be well to check up
on the rules.
