Quist Buries
Winters Toll
OF Dead Fish
MILLIONS OF FINGER
LINGS DEAD ALONG
TIGER SHORELINE

Fish which died in lakes in this
territory during the winter were
buried by the hundreds this week
by Game Warden w. H. Quist.
Tiger lake near Morton suffer-
ed the worst ravages of the ele-
ments, or whatever causes fish to
die during the winter. The ques-
ton of what kills them is open to
debate, Quist says, although it's a
sure thing that some fish are lost
every winter.
At Tiger, which he had been
told was too shallow to support
much piscatorial life, he found
millions of last years small
mouth bass fingerlings dead on
the shore.
when 1 says millions, that's a
conservative statement" Quist
says. He believes that adult fish
reached the lake through a creek
during high water last year and
spawned there. He also found
crappies, a few large mouth bass
and some carp dead at Tiger.
At Lake Redwood, practically
all dead fish were rough varieties,
mostly carp. The same was true
at Gold Mine lake, although he
found a larger number of game
fish there.
Quist buried quite few bull
heads and some bass at Mann's
lake.
