There seems to be considerable mis-
understanding among some of our
local fishermen as to the true mean
ing of the fish laws, especially as to
when the season closes for pike and
pickerel. For the benefit of those who
may be laboring under any mistake on
the same, we herewith quote the Sec
ton of the Pennsylvania fish laws re-
lating to the above-named fish:
No person shall by any means or de-
vice whatsoever catch or kill, in any
of the waters of this state, any pike
or pickerel between the first day OF
February and the first day of June in
any year. Any violation of this Sec
tion shall subject the offender to a
penalty of ten dollars for each and
every fish so caught, Approved the
18th day of April, A. d. 1891.

correct, regardless of anything quoted
