Commercial fishing contract granted for Lake Macbride
Ron Dickau and his brother Bob, from Fulton Illinois, hold a six month contract to commercially fish Lake Macbride from Oct 1 to Apr 1, catching carp and buffalo. They harvested over 1100 pounds the first day and about 2300 pounds the day before, using long nets and selling fish live to markets in St Louis and Chicago. The Iowa Conservation Commission says the program helps manage rough fish and benefits sport anglers by protecting game fish habitats.
