IF the New York men come into the
deal. however, 1t Is said that at tho
beginning only the Vermont avenue
frontage would be utilized.

While most Of the fish caught this
year in the Potomac have been taken
above the Aqueduct bridge. there have
been some desirable catches made along
the sea wall below the Alexandra rail-
road bridge Half q dozen white perch
were taken there yesterday that weighed
more than three quarters of a pound.
The familiar groups are focking to the
tidal basin again. but one waits there a
long time before he sees a worth while
fish lifted out of its depths.
The Washington times., 1914-04-23

All Of the fish taken yesterday were
caught with live bait. Art may rival
nature on a canvas or pedestal. but
when II comes to being on a fishhook.
there's nothing like the wriggly real live
minnow. One old fisherman has a COM
bination that he calls a "spliced bait" "
which he says never fails to land fish.
He first takes an obese bloodworm and
threads 1t on the hook. pushing 1t so far
up on the lead that an inch Of the hook
Is exposed. over this part of the hook
he then puts shrimp, splits on the COM
bination. casts It into a promising rifle,
and hauls out fish.
While most of the fish caught this
