The little fish were put in the river
by the Middle Tennessee Fish and
Game Association, and each year
this association hopes to put new
fish in the streams of Maury county,
and they also further propose to see
that the young fish are protected
from the pot fishers.
1t has been reported that there are
some so-called sports that have a
habit Of using nets in the river right
after rain and the river is little
muddy and by these unlawful means
taking the trout out of the river that
otherwise would not only furnish
splendid sport for gentleman who
loves TO angle with the rod, but would
also furnish several thousand more
fish at spawning time. This is posi-
lively against the law, and there are
several members of the association
who have taken a binding oath to
turn up all such miscreants to the
law and see that they are prosecuted
