Lake Redwood is new plentifully
stocked.
Ten thousand more fish were SEM
ed from the Minnesota river last
week Sunday and transferred to Lake
Redwood by members of the Redwood
County Game Protective league.
The league has been working all
fall taking bass out of the several
ponds and putting them into the
lake. Armistice Day and Sunday the
members worked the Minnesota river
for crappies and sunfish. No actual
count was taken, but an estimate was
given at nearly 10000.
Taking small fish out of the Min
nesota river was done as rescue work
as the river was low until rains since
and the authorities believed the small
fish would die when the river freezes.
The work of transporting the fish was
supervised by Game Wardens Olaf
