Five Island Lake anglers survive and the gull band tale
A fishing couple near Pierre were forced to beach their boat during a sudden storm and endured nine hours ashore. The column notes bullhead catches, local angler Jens Kirkegaard’s diploma, a letter from a British Columbia bird band report about a tagged Glaucous-winged Gull, and a teen’s trash pickup at the lake. The author shares neighborly acts, fishing tales, a boy returning bands, and an aside on Dutch marooned humor.
