* A tagged fish, reported to be a 4-pound black bass, was taken at Elgin 
about May 10, 1952. The tag number was read incorrectly and the fish 
returned to the water. 
**on Feb. 16, 1933 officers of the Iowa State Fish and Game Commission 
kindly forwarded a tag given them by an itinerant fisherman with the 
information that it was taken near Rockingham Light on the Mississippi 
River about Aug. 16, 1932. This date is obviously incorrect since 
this fish was not tagged until Aug. 29, 1932. We have not been able 
to find the fisherman, Earl Thompson,
