ROD AND GUN.

There is undoubtedly a great deal of
ADVANTAGE to be gained by introducing
new stock in lakes of small dimensions
which have been populated by certain
kinds OF fish for years. The Green pond
perch and the Greenwood lake pickerel
both show this. In both instances these
fish have greatly deteriorated by inter
breeding for score of years. Fifteen or
twenty years ago the average weight of
piekerei caught in Greenwood lake was
one and q half pounds, and many five. six
and seven pound fish were caught. Now
the average weight is eight ounces, and
out of the thousands which are being
weighing over pound. A five-pounder
was caught by Mr.. H. NJ. Thompson of
Newark three years ago, and it was such
a wonder that it was stuffed and put in q
glass case In Green pond the pickerel
are large, stout and hearty fish, and the
perch do not average over seven inches in
length. In Greenwood lake and zother
waters OF The State two-pound perch are
not uncommon. It would be good idea

some Green pond pickerel for some Green
wood lake perch.
An owner OF trout pond at Carpenters

can catch, This is forty cents cheaper
than the Long Island rate.
Forty-two young trout were found in

A thousand shad were caught in one
haul OF the big seine a5 Gloucester on
Monday. The moss-bunkers have put in
their appearance in the lower Delaware,
greatly TO the annoyance of the shadders.
The United States Matching station at
Gloucester has flva million young shad in
the jars, and million were place d in the
upper waters of the river last week
Fine white perch fishing IS now being
enjoyed in the Rarifan river
a striped bass weighing eight and three

Bob Terhune, of Greenwood Lake,
caught thirty-live pounds of catfish on
Monday night.
In the senson Key East is as good q
place for surf fishing for striped bass as
any coast in the country except, perhaps,
that at Point Judith.
There is great pickerel fishing now at
Spartswood Lake. Two Newarkers who
were up there last week brought home
sixty fish weighing nearly as many
pounds.
