ROCHESTER - This is the season's first fish story and it is a choice one.
The story was told by Clint Irvine, proprietor of the Dam Landing at Lake Manitou. Irvin said that the bass in Lake Manitou are "powerful hungry." "I was standing on the pier at my landing," Irvine said, "when I saw several swallows dip to the lake's surface to pick up bugs. One swallow which I was watching in particular made a dive for a bug and was caught and gulped by a large bass."
