More Families Fishing
For Food and Fun
Michigan Waters
Provide Meals
for Workers
BY DON GHLIEs

Fish is food, and food Is vital 10
the war effort.
Today on thousands Of lakes and
rivers in Michigan and throughout
the country millions of anglers will
be fishing more than ever before.
In fact as the different seasons
advance. the sportsman will not
only fish. but will take his whole
family along in an effort to catch
that evening meal"
Making his sport profitable as
we'll as recreational so far as fish
ing is concerned may not be so
silly after all If one examines the
production OF fish in Michigan
waters.
For example. commercial fisher
men who ply their trade in Michi-
gan waters of the Great Lakes
catch close TO thirty million pounds
of fish. a business that annually
brings them a cash return of two
and a half million dollars.
