 The proposed law for the discon- tinuing of fishing through the ice does not seem to meet with the approval of Brooklynites. They declare that fishing through the ice is fine sport and is contrary to the statements of prominent anglers, as interesting as tempting the pickerel from boat. \ man in this section who Is an expert with the rod and line stated Satur- day that he would like to see the law put through, although his sentiments are not in keeping with the majority He declared there is little or no skill required to catch fish through the ice ard asserted thaI the ponds are get <ivrr l,;, b.,o.,tcn of xx.t,,taw fss h Ing. The fish run into so much bait they aie bound to be ensnared and have very little chance for their lives He referred to the laws of Maiae, where Ice fishing except in few places is prohibited. Still he has plenty of time to fish during the sual. mer weather and perhaps does not enjoy the winter pastime. Those whC have been accustomed to running III to Bantam or some other nearby lake during the winter are making a big howl about the law which proposes to kill ice fishing.
