the week fishing has been very poor.
This was because the freshet last week
made the water SO dirty that the shad
bave not run up the River. The catch
on Thursday and Friday was better,
being 80 and so to a drift. The catch
was good at Pennsyille on Thursday.

price has been from SIS to $40 wholesale.
