BASS FINGERLINGS
AT GARDNER LAKE
Two Batohes Released There on Tues
day-TaIk of Closed Season.

Following applications which had
been steered through the right cham
nels by the influence of Congressman
Edwin w. Higgins, two patches of
small-mouthed black bass fDgerlings
were received here on Tuesday morn
ing, consigned to John NJ Lee and
John ID. Moulton The fish came from
the government hatcheries at St
Johnsbury, VT, and arrived in first
class shape after "a hours on the
road
The fingerlings were to be released
in Gardner lake and to expedite their
transportation thither, the A. G. Swan
company kindly contributed an auto
mobile III which the two cans of fish
were taken 20 the lake by Irving Ws..z
kinson Of the garage and MI. Lee.
They We're released at d point near
Mr.. Watkinsons cottage. where the
rocky contemplation of the lake bot
tom gave them the best chance for
protection from larger fish. In one of
the cans all the fish were found alive
when released and in the other can
there were only three dead.
This is the first stocking in recent
years with fngerlings, although a
number of patches of bass fry have
been released in the lake within the
last few years.
A number of those most interested
in fishing in the lake are talking of
the advisa bility of establishing a
closed season for two or three years
after the lake has been thoroughly
restocked. There is also a proposition
to limit the number of fish to be taken
in a day by a fisherman. Something
like one or the other, or perhaps both
of these plans, needs to be done to
maintain bass fishing at the lake. il
is claimed, since the number of cot
tageds has grown in the past few
years to considerable exten and there
is more fishing done than ever before
