The part where we say plainly what the footer says warmly.

This is fiction

The Misquah Pilot-Independent is a work of fiction presented in the form of a small-town weekly newspaper. The town of Misquah, Minnesota, the Chain of Lakes, and every person, business, institution, event, and animal described on this site are invented. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or to real businesses or events, is coincidental.

Not news, not advice

Nothing on this site is journalism, and nothing on it constitutes advice — legal, medical, financial, or fishing-related. The weather reports are made up. The fish are made up. Please do not plan a trip around the bass tournament.

Copyright

All text and generated imagery on this site are the property of the publisher. You may quote briefly with attribution. Please do not republish whole editions; the archive took years, even fictional ones.

As-is

The site is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. If a link breaks, we regret the error — the marshal, as ever, regrets the horse.
