Dryness Delays Opening of New Douglas County Lake
The 180 acre lake near Vinland may not open for fishing until fall 1965 due to drought. Officials test 60,000 stocked fish, with channel catfish, black bass and bluegill in fingerling size awaiting two growing seasons. Construction proceeds on a boat ramp, parking, and toilet facilities as tests determine when mature fish can be fished.
