Des Moines report from the state fish and game commission describes severe winter weather and thick ice eliminating large amounts of soft fish. Storm Lake crews buried 250 tons of sheephead.

The losses favor future fishing for desirable game fish, the commission says, deeming the removal a blessing in disguise.
