Opening of the 1960 Manitoba angling season
Weather favored a warm opening despite persistent winds as anglers flocked to spots across the province. Cransted Lake, Bird River bridge, Whitemud River and Crane River yielded mixed results with Pike and pickerel catches. Shoal Lake Derby awarded a 6 lb 10 oz pike and a 3 lb 3 oz pickerel winning a new automobile and prize. Whiteshell Hatchery will stock about a million trout eggs and a Lake Winnipeg trap net experiment aims to improve commercial and sport fishing. Firsthand reports promise updates as season unfolds.
