Members OF the Y. L. y. and II. L. J..
K. clubs yesterday enjoyed a fishing
trip to Oldman's creek, \. J. What the
fishermen lacked in size of their catch
they made up in numbers. 1t is said
that no one party ever brought as many
sunfish to Wilmington as did the club
men from the southside orchard. Leslie
Groves had the distinction of catching
an eel weighing ] 2 pounds. Other eels
were caught, but they looked like fishing
worms by the side of the one caught by
Groves.
Patrick and James Dugan visited the
canal yesterday and came home with a
ine collection Of sunfsh and mill
reaches. They also caught some perch
as well. The Dugan boys are noted for
heir success on fishing trips.
Abner Hopes and Joseph Sanderson,
the latter the champion fly caster among
the anglers at the Pennsylvania Rail
roads Todd's Cut shops, have returned
from a trip TO Banton's mill pond Their
catch amounted to twelve catfish, aver
aging two pounds each.
