Perch and Bass Law

The Department Of Inland Fisheries
and Game is anxious that the fisher
men Of the State make no mistake in
the date of the opening of the perch
and bass season. Perch and bass can
not be legally caught this season I'M
til June 20. except that bass may be
caught with Undated artificial flies.
Last year perch could be caught AS
early as June Is but the 18th Legs
lature set the date of the opening or
the season ahead five days and the
change was a part Of law passed under
the emergency clause, the law becom-
ing effective as changed at once. i,
is not unlikely that many fishermen
may not know that the change in the
law was made at all: many may kno"
that the change vas made but believe
it not TO be effective until sometime
in July. as is the case with laws not
PASSED with the emergency clause.
