Bojri and M«n Tftke Pickerel wnd C«rp In : v; Larg* Qnmitttlw, The biff drainage ditch, eight miles long, extending from near Ivanhoe north thru the "big sag," at^the mammoth Fremont marsh is known, since its com­ pletion has drained hnudreda of acres of land until it has become tillable and at the same time developed into a prime fishing ground. . The ditch was dng abont a rear ago at a groat expense to the farmers. It cost in the neighborhood of a thousand dollar* a mile to construct it. Even at this figure it was a paying investment, as many acres of hitherto marshy bar­ ren land are made cultivable. Now the ditch baa developed into a boon to • the boys of the neighborhood thru which it passes in as much as it has made for them a most excellent fish* ing ground. Instead of a swampy waste, the "sag" is now largely valuable land with a wido ditch partially filled with running water coursing thru it. Tbis ditch has in the past few months become well stocked with fine pickerel, carp and other fi*h Some fishermen have caught aa high aa forty and fifty pickerel in a day. Fish have been taken weighing as much as six pound*. The drainage ditch is the finest fish­ ing ground in' Lake county today and runs thru a neighborhood where fishing was formerly unknowu. In the old days the "sag" afforded no fishing. The ditch is about twenty fe*t wide and car­ ries from a foot to four and five feet of water. Boys take the fish in large quan­ tities, evjn spearing and shooting them when the game warden is far off. It is supposed the fish come from Fox Lake and the other lakes with which the ditch connects thru Squaw Creek. The Rlcli*«t Mull In the World.
