Rough Fish Removal

Image

Men standing on a barge, left, and others on a wharf, work with a net full of fish from Lake Winnebago as others watch. Two boys at right are walking away from the wharf. A man standing in the water wearing a waterproof coat is holding a carp. Written on the reverse of the print is "Rough fish removal operations at Oshkosh." A bridge and large building are visible in the background. The sign above the building identifies the Wisconsin Public Service Corporation.
