This old story brings up the subject of Dendo Island which we have discussed in previous posts, one of which was the original from 2012 when this blog was shiny and new: https://menashabook.blogspot.com/2012/04/dendo-island.html. I'm sure the bounty of fish described in this news story quickly dissipated after the news got out. The writer's fanciful wish that Menasha become a site for a fish cannery or some such held less water than the filled-in Garfield Avenue that used to be the separating stream from the mainland.
Great fishing
