periority of which cannot be questioned
OF course there are different things re-
quired for the successful capture of diff
ferent fish. For fly fishing one should
be provided with fly rod from eight to
nine feet long. weighing from four to
FIVE ounces. The line should be as light
as can be cast, and double tapered. The
files should be according to the size of
fish that is expected to be caught.

When landing a fish try to keep below

If you get rise from good fish

possible SO as not to alarm others in the

the members Of this club to make 1t one

Already some splendid catches have
been made along the upper river, and
the season is only beginning. With good
weather, which the Washington fishermen
are anxiously awaiting and have been
patient about, the sport will begin in
earnest, and will continue until long
after the first chill Of another winter
has been felt.

in such disturbed state that they pay
little or no attention to bait Of any kind.
The mouth of the Chesapeake, also, is
clogged with nets, and few fish get by
them. as a result of which the govern

the river from Mt. Vernon Is more or less
thwarted in it's purposes. At this hatch
cry only shad and yellow perch are
handled.
There is good fishing above Great Falls,
nearly all OF the fresh water varieties

ment places a limit on the sizes OF fish
that can be caught. They must be Of a

A score of years ago Private John Al

from Mississippi. Allen was anxious to
secure fish hatchery for his native town
OF Tupelo. Unable to persuade the COM
mittee on appropriations Of the merit OF
the proposition, he introduced in the
House an amendment to the sundry civil
appropriation bill carrying $4,000, and,
February 20. 1901. he rose on the floor to
plead for its adoption. The town of Tu-
