Local fishermen are overhauling their
tackle in preparation for the trout season
which will open in Vermont May 1. 1t
was thought few weeks ago that the
chances of good catches on opening day
were slim because of the great amount
of snow then in the mountains and the
continued cold weather. The snow has
thawed gradually, however, without
causing any freshets in this vicinity and
the brooks are now in normal condition
for this time of the year, so that if the
weather is reasonably warm the fishing
should be up to the average during early
MAY. The water during the fall and
winter was very low and it is feared in
some sections that the intense cold
caused the brooks to freeze solid. This
would, of course, mean the death of
many fish and may effect this spring S
supply.
