Russell Game and Fish notes and events in a prairie district
The Russell Game and Fish records recall past meetings in town halls and the Odd Fellows hall, plus Loney’s Main Street office as secretary treasurer. They discuss bounty on crow and magpie legs, elk sightings near St Lazare, fishing at Fish Lake, and community surveys from 1948 onward including a family fishing weekend with no license on June 11 and 12. The group notes annual fish derby, a rainbow trout trophy at Spear Lake, and a busy volunteer base with plans for big game seasons and lake improvements led by Bob Kieper.
