If the makers of the present fish law
had the good of the fish at stake, we
think that they would have made very
different law, and instead of prohibiting
anglers they would have privileged them
to angle all the year, and would have 80
enacted the law to not allow the streams
to be dragged from mouth to head with
STIR nets, set nets, dip nets, &c, any part
of the year. If the fish taken from the
streams IN this neighborhOod by stir nets,
is an evidence of what is being taken
along said streams elsewhere, there will
not be one fish left to spawn where theIe
would haye been 500 under an angling
law. The law should be changed at the
very first opportunity.
