Moberly Lake Told As Paradise Dying For Fishing
Henry Moberly praised Moberly Lake in 1865 as a hunter and fisher’s paradise teeming with trout, fowl, beaver, moose, caribou, bears and bighorn sheep. Decades later the lake is not stocked, restocking programs ignore it, and locals urge action from MLA Don Marshall and Mr Kiernan to save a top recreation lake in the Peace country. FOR SALE notices follow listing a 1970 Chevelle and odd socks.
