LOTS OF HELP STOCKING AXE







North Shore Fisheries were at it again this week.  We stocked 800 Lake Trout in Axe Lake.  And we had a lot of help.  Word gets around that we would be in the area so a lot of the locals came out to help unload the tank.
We couldn't get into where we usually unload so we had to improvise - I am sure the owner recognizes this property and is ok with us using his launch and dock.  Mark even retrieved a chair that had blown off the dock.  It wouldn't have gone very far as there was a rope tied to the leg.  It is safely back on the dock.
These fish need a couple of years to grow to the size that fisher people like to catch.  They were beauties.  A few of them stayed close to shore so my job was to encourage them to swim further out into the lake.  And I only saw one dead one so that is a good sign that these were good healthy fish.
