Badger Sportsmen Seek Help From Fishermen For Census Vital to Regulations
Fishermen are urged to fill fish creel census forms found at La Crosse area boat liveries and many shops. Data on names, addresses, party size, local waters, and sizes of fish will guide future fishing regulations and negotiations with Minnesota and Iowa. The Badger club plans a USO fishing derby for Camp McCoy soldiers and aims to establish Lagoon as a Kids Fishing Ground. A questionnaire will target gubernatorial candidates, with a June meeting planned to unify hunting and fishing policy in boundary waters.
