Centenary year nostalgia and Manitoba outdoors review
A nostalgic look at 1966 highlights Manitoba’s fishing and hunting year. Master Angler feats, notable anglers like Flight Lieutenant R. Mazey, and strong visitor turnout marked a good year. Bird River and Crow Duck Lake produced big smallmouth bass and perch, while waterfowl and upland game seasons were favorable. A water oxygen deficiency threatens Irwin’s trout lake. New C I L .22 caliber rifles introduced to replace older models.
