Doc had a wing of the Mansfield library dedicated to him this past weekend. Thank you for all that attended. Many attribute their hard work and problem solving back to their fish culture 1 days. We all know those trials and tribulations. Thanks again Doc!

MU fisheries ice fishing results. What a great day. Lots of nice fish. Thanks again for everyone's help and for those that participated. As scientists, all we had were measuring boards that recorded in the metric system 😂.
