Pigeon lake.
1914 - the law was that anyone net fishing at pigeon lake had to live within 2 miles of the lake.
1939 a new strain of whitefish was stocked in the lake that grew to bigger sizes. To 4 lbs. Prior to that the whitefish were smaller to 2 lbs.
-As late as 1948 oldtimers still got their water from the lake to drink. They claimed it made the best coffee.
In the early 1890's one pigeon lake resident oldtimer recalled he could go out hunting from his front step and in three hours come home with a moose or bear.
