Readers debate fishing rules and wildlife odds in midsummer notes
A letter to the Editor from Mr Campbell challenges fishing privileges and catch reporting. The piece defends proper angling, recounts a trip with guide Walter Head, and recalls a modest catch. It then shifts to midsummer fishing advice across Manitoba rivers and lakes, naming Winnipeg River, Lake Manitoba Narrows, Grand Rapids, Assiniboine, and streams for Brook and Rainbow Trout, plus lake records at Cranberry Lakes and Kississing. A lighter section humorously notes exotic animal pairings called perps and recalls a 1949 elk and recent bighorn ram incidents with domestic flocks and sheep ranges in the Dakotas.
