Waterfowl refuge and river trout transfer plans
A 47 520 acre Tamarac Migrating Waterfowl Refuge in Becker county Minnesota is established to protect waterfowl and other wildlife. The refuge lies at the head of the Mississippi Flyway and will be managed by the U S biological survey with a CCC camp’s help. Separate notes recount fishing efforts on the Greenbrier river and Elk River, where barbless hooks aided in moving large rainbow and brook trout from closed to open sections with several hundred larger fish now available to anglers.
