Anglers are taking advantage of the short
time remaining ere the water gets too cold
to pursue their cherished pastime, and
many parties have been enjoying excellent
sport up the Potomac Reports indicate an
unusual profusion of game bass and at
Woodmont and other points, high UP to-
ward the headwaters of the stream some
fine catches have been made
At the Woodmont Club Saturday and
Sunday Mr.. Ross Thompson and Messrs.
W. 5. Thompson, senior and junior, had
rare good luck. They caught forty-three
all good ones, and the toprers were re-
markably large. Eight of them weighed
twenty-seven pounds, an average of three
pounds six ounces each, and two of these
weighed four and a quarter pounds each
and one four pounds
Inc TWO biggest We're caught by Mr. Ross
Thompson. The catch again effectually dis
proved the theory so prevalent among local
anglers that bass will not bite when an
east wind is blowing, as all the fish were
captured when the wind was blowing very
strongly from that quarter.
