CATCHING FISH IN BASKETS.
An Easy Method Which Obtained
Around the Bay of Fundy.

The Bay of Fundy has always been
o famous fishing ground especially
for salmon and shad Fifty years
ago the fish were so plentiful! that a
method was used to catch them
which seems odd nowadays when a
fish has at least half a chance 20 es-
cape the hook or the net.
The tide rises high In the Bay OF
Fundy and its headwaters. and OF
this fact the fishermen of fifty years
ago took full advantage. At high
tide the water makes sizable rivers
of tiny streams. Large schools OF
shad and other fish in those days
came up the river with the tide.
The method of catching them was
simple in the extreme. At low tide
q seine would be staked to the river
bed and the top of the seine weight
ed to the bottom with leads. Then
after the tide had risen the fisher
men would pull up the seine so that
it formed barrier across the entire
river bed.
Wuen the tide began to run out
the fish would find their return to
the sea and freedom barred effect
lively. The little fellows. OF course,
would make their way through the
seine. but the ones worth catching
would flop impotently against the
meshes.
Soon the tide would be out COM
pletely, leaving only a foot Of water
in the river. Several thousand fish
would be there for the taking. A
pair of rubber boots and "a basket
would be sufficient equipment for
the fishermen. who waded out ane
gathered them In wholesale.
The fish don't run up the rivers
any more, and the seining must be
done in the bay itself. This Is prof
table. it is true. but fish with half
head can avoid, capture for long
time.
