Belgrade. in Belgrade. Tuesday, it was
voted to prohibit bait casting for bass
in the chain of lakes known as the Bel
grade lakes, from the time that the ice
leaves the lakes in the spring of each
year. until the first of June, for a period
| of four years.
Al another meeting Of the commits
sloners. held the same day, at VIM
throp. 1t was voted to prohibit all kinds
OF fishing in Lake Maranacook for Il
period or four years. within 400 feet Of
Dead stream dam. and also for the
same length of time at the south end
OF Maranacook. from Il point opposite
Geo. Webster's dwelling house, to 4
| lamp post at the head of Green street
Inc reason for placing these restric-
tons on the lake fishirg is that in
stocking the lakes with trout and
salmon, the small fish, it has been
| found. gather in large numbers in these
| localities during the earlier part Of the
| season, but scatter TO other parts Of the
lake as the water grows warmer. Dur
ing the time that they are huddled in
the localities where fishing has now
been forbidden. they are easily caught.
and have been caught bv hundreds, so
that the enactment Of the law was nee
essary in order to protect them. The
fish are eight or nine inches long. AMI
are almost as easily captured as if one
were to go to the hatchery and dip
| th"m out OF the trough3
