Mud Lake to be developed as bass breeding area
The State of Iowa plans Mud Lake as a breeding lake to establish 130 pair of broad bass, with careful seining to gauge stock and prevent overfishing. Early seasons will remove some young bass to balance the ecosystem, while no lake will be robbed of bass, and hauls will occur in various locations to understand the population. A community singing program led by Mrs. Cox featured 4-H members, with Mary Lou Fairchild, Jeanne Seidel, and others performing, and reports from 4-H clubs. The Okoboji 4-H band, led by O. E. Niffeneger, provided music as refreshments followed.
