TROUT FISHERS LANDING NET

Learned Pennsylvania Judge Justi-
fies Its Use.
Some months ago several residents in
Monroe County, Penn, caused the ar
rest of two prominent Philadelphians
for using landing net while fishing
for trout with a rod, hook, and line, on
the ground that the laws of the State
prohibited the use of all nets except
two or three, which were specifically
named. The case, which was tried in
Stroudsburg recently. aroused wide
spread interest, and was looked upon as
of more than ordinary Importance, be-
cause the question of the legality of the
device had never before been raised,
and because IL it were declared to be
illegal the decision would affect anglers
in every State where there are laws for
the protection Of fish. To the relief of
all sportsmen Judge Craig rendered a
decision affirming the legality Of the
landing net. The decision is common
sense one, and in accord with the spirit
Of the laws and those who drafted them.
Judge Craig's opinion contains 1000
words, and in substance is as follows:
Manifestly, if we interpret the words
tation of their literal import, then 1t
would be obnoxious to this act to use
a reel or fly or bait or bob or sinker or
squid in connection with rod, hook, and
line when fishing for game fish, for
these are appliances for catching fish
in the general sense of the terms. Such
Interpretation would be contrary to the
legislative intent, for it would practic-
ally defeat all catching of game fish.
Such construction would lead to alb
surdity, and 1t is not to be presumed
that the Legislature intended its own
stultif1cation
Much argument was expended on the
question, Was the fish caught when
hooked, or was it not caught until it
was put into the physical possession of
the defendant by means of landing
net? The preponderating weight Of the
evidence Is that a game fish Is caught
when hooked and that the landing net
is used, either conveniently or neces-
sarlly, for bringing the fish into the
physical possession of the fisherman.
We cannot believe that the Legisla-
ture in using the phrase rod, hook,
and line, intended so narrow and unrea-
sonable a construction as is urged by
the Commonwealth. So common and
universal Is the use of reels. fly hooks,
bait, bobs sinkers, and squids in fish
ing with rod hook, and line that we
may take them to be included in the
phrase rod, hook, and line" ordinary
and popular use. Therefore, If we con-
strue the legislative language according
to it's popular appliances or things just
named were understood and intended
by the Legislature to be included In the
phrase rod, hook, and line.'
But the contention Ia that a landing
net Is not of such common and univers-
al use as to be included in the phrase

rod, hook, and line" Certain 1t is
that the landing net was in common
use by fishermen as far back as 1868.
All the testimony In this case is to the
effect that the landing net Is, and has
been in ordinary, common, and almost
universal use by those who fish for
trout with rod, hook and line In our
view, therefore, the landing net was as
much within the legislative intent, when
using the words "rod, hook and line"
as was the fly hook, reel, bait, and such
like appliances Landing nets are not
named in any Of the acts. Hand or
cast nets are, in the sixth section of the
act under consideration. But hand or
cast nets are not landing nets. Then,
can landing nets be included in the
phrase, nets of any other description"
AS we have already stated, landing
nets are useless as separate appliances
for catching fish. The diversion or
sport of fishing is engaged in by many
persons, and the policy Of the Common
wealth has been to encourage the pas
time II we were to hold the law to be
as commended by the Commonwealth In
this case, we should, as shown by the
testimony, destroy the very purpose of
the Legislature in passing the acts re-
latsng to the catching of game fish,
which is perfectly plain. Tt was to stop
indiscriminate and unreasonable
destruction so that the streams and
waters might be kept stocked. Hence
the law limits fishing to certain seasons
and to certain means. The mischief
was the extinction Of game fish by
means of nets, and the nets named are
seines, drift nets, fyke nets, and nets
of like character.-Ph Ledger.
