One thousand rainbow trout have
been liberated in the northwestern and
eastern branches of the Potomac river.
The fish were secured from the United
States Fish Commission and liberated by
John F. Hickey, who says that if effort
to stop the hauling of seine in these
streams are successful these fish will
afford excellent sport in about two years.
An association will be formed for the
purpose of protecting the stock through
enforcement of existing laws. An ex-
perienced trout fisherman does not be-
lieve that the rainbow trout fish will
thrive in these waters, which except in
winter will be too warm for them.
