Summer and fishing can't be far behind. The West Branch youngsters
line up on the bank to watch the stocking of trout in the stream.
Youngsters in various parts of Michigan can now fish for
trout to their hearts' content ? with no interference from
grownups. Sportsmen's groups, with a kindly nod from public
officials, have designated short stretches of streams for "kids
only." Adults stay away- -or just look on.
Crews from the state's conservation department stocked
the streams shortly before the season opened. Dads, grand
dads and older brothers of the boys and girls helped provide
them with rods, reels, and instructions. They've been at it
ever since.
Pictured here are the young fishermen of West Branch,
? here the project started three years ago. Town Creek is
;r dream spot.
FOR KIDS ONLY
