One of the Augusta tomcod fisher
men expressed the belief yesterday that
the run of these winter visitors up the
Kennebec river was about over for the
season and thai while the fish are still
taken in large numbers in the nets set
for suckers the tomcod fishery will
soon be over until another winter. His
reason for believing the run to be
about over is that the fish now running
are larger thar those which have filled
the river since the first of the month,
many of them weighing from a pound
and a half to two pounds or more, and
that as a rule the larger fish do not
put in an appearance until near the
last Of the run.
