will take his departure, there need be
no fear of a dearth of the frozen article.
Ice and snow are sure crop in Yer
mont.
Fishermen who enjoy good trout fish
ing in a SportSmanlike way are pleased
with the provisions of the new fish law.
No trout less than six inches in length
can be legally caught, and the fishing
season is from April l to August l.
Fishermen say that the small trout are
found in small streams, and if they are
allowed to grow six inches long, or
longer, they will move down into the
larger streams, where there is likely to
be more sport in fishing. If the law is
properly enforced, an end will be put to
the capture of thousands of trout of less
than a fingers length for the sole pur-
pose of swelling the size OF ones
- string " and the size of ones story as
to the number caught.
