Wednesday, the first fishing day of this
season, was a model one for the streams

taries of Isaac Walton. AS early as the

the bait upon them the sport began and
continued all day Among those who Sc
cured particularly good catches were DR.
Edwards and Arthur Simonds of Brattle'
boro, Charles JOY of Hadley, c. D. John
son of this town and many others from
elsewhere. Representatives from North
ampton, Greenfield, Springfield Demands
ton and Mortified were seen. Twelve
were seen on the same brook at the sam'
time. Those who saw the inside OF thu
baskets say that more than 1926 legal siz'
trout were taken from the brook nea
Whithed's mill. 1t would seem from thi
that the result of postponing the opel
season until May Is is a condenser of thu
sport into a very short time.
