Paradise for Fishing
Located Above Straits
No Limit,
or Law to Hit
Your Way

L'ANSE, Mich, July 5.-There's
a real, neutrality-suspicious. fisher
mans paradise" in the wilds OF
northern Michigan.
Here you can fish year-around
without fear OF the law, there's no
legal limit" 10 the number of
willy brook trout you can take
home and you'll never go home
empty-handed, for your catch is
guaranteed.
Located about seven miles from
L'Anse on the Skanee road, this
piscatorial Eden is the property of
a far-sighted gentleman named
Arvid Kallio, who operates a
tavern in L'Anse and a turkey
farm on the Skanee- stretch, but
likes best of all fishing where even
the worst of anglers is a huge
SUCCESS,
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-07-06
Just for Fun

"Just for the fun of it," Kallio
planted a few cans of brook trout
in the little lake. Several years
passed and the trout spawned and
multiplied. At sunset Kallio
watched them splash for bugs
whoppers!
Disappointed anglers, passing
the lake. made commercial posi-
Utilities when they offered to pay
Kallio for the privilege of fishing,
Kallio protested at first, but later,
as the fish family increased, he
allowed a few jubilant anglers to
stalk their prey along the banks
Iof the lake and dam. He set his
own limit and received small fees
but no fisherman ever left the
lake with an empty creel
Kallio, who presents each de-
parting fisherman with a receipt
to signify where his catch was
made, says conservation regula-
tons do not apply at his private
lake because the source of the
water supply is on bis own prop
lerty.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-07-06
Has Little Lake

Outside OF the turkeys, the
major attraction on Kallio's 90
acre farm is a sparkling little lake
that measures 500 by 800 feet and
is fed by crystal-clear springs in
his own timberlands. There's a
little dam, too, above the lake
level-and both are choctull OF
trout.
Some years ago It was all
marshy gully. Kallio, with no
thought of creating a "fisherman's
paradise" or anything akin to 1t,
secured a conservation depart
ment permit TO dam the waters
of the tiny creek that trickled
through his land.
He built a spillway to take care
of the excess water. Tons upon
tons of earth and gravel were
hauled to hold back the swelling
dam waters, and many times the
earthworks gave way. but in the
end Kallio had a lake-.all his own.
1t made good scenery for the
quests at his farm.
