New Town Angler Breaks Long-Standing Fish Record

Royce Johnston’s catch March 6 broke a state record that hadn’t been touched in 30 years.

The New Town angler reeled in a 16-lb., 6-oz. lake trout from the Garrison Dam Tailrace.

The 33.5-inch fish broke the old record by more than two pounds. The previous record of 14 lbs., 4 oz. was taken from the Tailrace in 1982.
