The piekerel fishermen so far have
had poor season this year for the
sport OF catching the fish through the
ice. The chief reason has been the
shortage of sinners for bait. Most of
the bait used in this locality has been
supplied from the reservoir at Ches-
| hire. Mass, hut the water is high and
sinners are hard to get. The most
successful catch through the ice was
reported from North Bennington
| party that went to Lake Cassayuna
and brought back total of 6S pounds
of pickerel. Most of the ice fishing
anyway is done in February. Live
bait can be bought at several points
along the Hudson, but they are not
considered as good as the native shin
er or brook minnow, while many pick
| erel fishermen prefer small suckers.
Smelt make a fine bait, but are not
native in Bennington and vicinity.
