NO. 37. the WILL SEIN FISH IN BOTH RIVERS IN NEAR FUTURE Men Working Under the Supervision of the Iowa State Fish Game Dept. Workmen who are operating under the Iowa Fish and Game Department were in Humboldt day of this week perpared to sein the soft fish out of both the east and west forks of the Des Moines river at this place and Dakota City. They will also go up and down the river wherever soft fish can be located, and sein.

They came prepared to start work Monday last, and had their equipment on hand, but were stopped by the soft ice. In order to operate they have to have open water or ice that will bear their weight and that of the apparatus they use. The outfit is under the direction of Pat Bolkert. It was secured by representatives of the American Legion post at Humboldt, and Clarence Colo and Ole Fjetland, of the Legion post, had charge of the negotiations. The workmen state that they have to work in the deeper holes.

because soft Ash always retire to the deeper water during the cold weather. The water above the two dams in the rivers. are Ideal for seining providing the bottom does not hinder the nets. The workmen work their Being under the ice, or in water clear of ice, but the soft ice of the past week prevents successful gelning. All soft fish weighing three pounds and over will be sold on the local or other markets, and those weighing less will be turned over the supervisors of the county to ge given away to the needy.

Of course game fish are always returned to the water. This same outfit has been working in the Des Molnes river at and near Fort Dodge where they took many tons of soft fish. No estimate could be made on: the amount of soft fish that can be taken from the rivers here, though it would be many, tons. of fish are taken from a comparatively small lot of water. The soft fish are very injurious to game fish.

They destroy the spawn of the game fish and thus prevent them from multiplying. The number of soft fish in the west fork of the Dee Molnes river above the dam is amazing. This tali when the water cleared so as to allow vision to a depth of several feet, sunshiny days would show soft fish almost as thick as they could lie, packed along the river like sardines in a box. There would be literally thousands of them. Also, some of them were large.

When a boat passed or someone walked into view on the bank, the 1sh would silently disappear into the deeper holes, only to return a few minutes after the disturbance had passed. A haul from the deeper holes in that vicinity would produce probably many tons of soft feh. In fact, the amount of soft Ash in the river is amazing to anyone who has not bad opportunity to view them on sunshiny days. LuVerne Stores Will Close Wed.
