The big reservoir of the Chittenden
Power company in Chittenden, which
has been the most famous trout re-
sort of southern Vermont for five
years, is proving a big disappoint-
ment to many fishermen this season.
Its banks have been lined with men
every day since the 18th but not a
large catch has been made. The rec
ords last year showed that fishing
here was on the wane. The largest
fish so far taken from the pond, one
pound and six ounces, was caught
by Frank c.. Dunn of Rutland. Ang-
lers, who have been to Spring lake
in Shrewsbury, another very popu-
Ira resort are complaining over the
number of mullet caught on trout
lines. These fish were introduced
with bait fish and have increased at
an astonishing rate in spite OF at
tempts of the fish and game authori-
ties to exterminate them. They are
spawn eaters and will soon exter-
inmate the trout, fishermen say.
They are taking bait freely and
bushels have been caught. A. III.
Pierce of Rutland caught 19-inch
trout at the lake Monday.
