tnAn TWO weeks, GrtaWoid nShermen
are getting their gear in, shape for the
has been put into local brooks ten
thousand Of the finest nngerling trout
which the state hatchsries could pro-
vide, including Broad, Havey's. Palm
ers Tiffany's and Campbelre. The
expense was betrayed by local trout
fishermen. These results were largely
duo to the efforts of q. F. Burleson,
the late A. C. Ladd and the late Game
Warden w. H. Bennett.
The first idea Of stocking local
brooks was put into action fifteen years
ago, when the. Jewstt City Piscatorial
club WAS formally organized with the
following Officers: President, Archie
McNicol; vice president. James II.
Finn; secretary. William L. Sweet;
treasurer, Clark W. Reynolds; execu-
tive committee, A. A. Young. Jr. L. F.
Kinney, F. L. Leavitt, C. HI. Tanning
and David p. Chabot. There were 46
members who loved the sport and de-
sired to see 1t at its best.
The names Of q number OF Norwich
sportsmen appeared upon its lists. The
club was formed at that time in view
of the swift decadence of the number
Of trout In the brooks, and game and
food fish in the ponds and reservoirs.
Although this organization has ceased
to follow out the policy of its proposed
systematic stocking. yet the establish
ment of that time has not ceased and
as direct result of 1t each year sees
more or less work in this line.
Five years ago 20 cans Of lingering
small mouth bass were put into. two
local ponds, also ten cans of wall-eyed
pike. A careful watch was kept OF
local catches for two years, but no
trace was ever seen OF the pike. For
some reason unknown to local anglers
these fine fish never matured
It IL predicted that there will be
unusually good creels this spring, as
the brooks were not dry last fall, as
was the case two years ago.

cradle excitement in the borough Sat-
