Complete Stocking Of Farm Ponds
The State Conservation Commission announced this summer 67000 bass were stocked in 4185 farm ponds statewide at an average cost of 8.0 cents per fish with no charge to pond owners. Fish were delivered in plastic bags with oxygen at Lake Wapello Hatchery and distributed to pond owners upon request. Owners should contact local fish and game officers for 1965 orders and note the rule permitting fishing. Fishing without owner permission violates Iowa trespass laws.
