From Niggerhead pond comes a strange
tale that is vouched for by one of Barre's
most ardent sportsmen. Two anglers
who camped on the pond the other night
were aroused from campfire reverie
around dusk by continued splashing in
the middle of the pond. In the Silly
night, the noise sounded as though a
muskrat had gone on a rampage. To-
gether, the campers rowed silently out
to the scene of the splashing and found
two large rainbow trout engaged in a
death struggle. One fish had the other
by its tail and even the momentary in
terruption by the almost noiseless glide
of the oars did not serve TO distract the
finny members from their toilsome scuf-
fe. While one of the anglers essayed
to elout the fish with an oar, the other
took cognizance of their size and formed
in his own mind an opinion that each
trout would weight at least six pounds.
The presence of the fishermen finally
frightened the combatants away, but the
anglers, telling their story to an old fish
erman on the bank, learned that the
rainbow is naturally quarrelsome fish
and often found in dispute.
