The outlook for even a fair shad fishing

The outlook Tor even a fair Snad fishing season is very dubious, more so in fact than the last few preceding years. There isn't fisherman on the Connecticut river who has the the courage to invest the cap ital necessary for the purchase of new net. and what fishing is done will be with gear that has seen several seasons work. A Hartford Times correspondent from personal investigation and inquiry has as- certained that not hauling seine will be put in the river between Middletown and Saybrook bar, and that only seven gill nets will be run. Of these later. two will be located at Essex, one at Lyme, on the Saybrook Ferry and three at Saybrook Point The pounds which stretch their all-devour ng meshes from the Connecti- cut miles to the westward, will still keep up their devastating work, and what s"Connecticut River shad" find their way to market will be fish that never pushed their noses into its waters.
 The rapid decline of what was once the principal industry of the people of this locality is remarkable, and yet the explan- ation is simple. It has been the greed and rapacity of the pound owners, who, not contented with the shad of suitable size for the table, made the meshes o1 their nets so small that even the small fry could not escape their rapacious maws. These latter only few years ago were sold by the hundreds of barrels to the codfish and macker smacks for bait ,and in some instances the edible fish was used as a fertilizer for the farms that lay along the sound shore. It was costly way tC increase the fertility of the soil, that is costly to the river fisherman.
