May, 1945 Bennett: Overfishing, Onized Lake 375 Acknowledgments Mr. Bruno von Limbach, Assistant Zool- ogist with the Illinois Natural History- Survey, has given able assistance in many phases of the field work, and is in no small measure responsible for the completeness of the final census. Others to whom I am indebted for assistance are Mr. W. W. Wood, Mr. Austin Vincent and Mr. John Conrad of the Owens-Illinois Glass Com- pany, who helped to make this study possi- ble ; Mr. Robert G. Rennels, who assisted in the final census; Mr. Gernon P. Hes- selschwerdt, who tabulated the creel cen- sus data; and Mrs. Bruno von Limbach, who assisted in growth calculations. Characteristics of Onized Lake The Owens-Illinois Glass Company of Alton sponsors an extensive indoor and outdoor recreation program. The outdoor program is centered on a tract of land of 23 acres about 8 miles northwest of Alton. Here facilities are available for picnics, hiking, softball and fishing. The property, leased from C. W. Terry, consists of open Hats suitable for ball diamonds and other playgrounds, and steep-sided, well-wooded ravines, attractive for hiking. Several buildings have been erected, which are useful for indoor activities and serve as shelters in case of sudden storms. John Conrad acts as general caretaker during the season the area is open for use. Onized Lake is located in the northeast part of the tract within 100 yards of the entrance gate, fig. 1. The location of the lake in relation to the entrance and gen- eral headquarters for the area makes for convenience in checking fishermen and recording catches. The lake is a small artificial body of water of approximately 2 acres, built by Mr. Terry in 1933 by damming a steep- sided ravine. It is roughly V-shaped, with the main arm extending northward and
