A. L. Reinburg and Ed Burrows par
tfcipated in an outing at Catoctin, Md,
Washington's birthday. 1t has been
their custom to spend the holiday on
the houseboat of the Sharp Shinn Fish
ing Club, and three years ago Rein
burg landed a and-one-half-pound
gamester on such an outing.
But there was no ice on the river
that day." he stated. while there was
a thick coating this year"
One good run experienced by Rein
burg was the only evidence last week
! that the fish were on the move and
willing to take bait. and that fish got
away.
Thousands of minnows were seen in
shallow water from where the anglers
cleared spot to get their bait overboard
The sight was an unusual one, the
anglers said. and they were unable to
account for the presence Of the small
fish in such shallow water in freezing
weather.
Anglers are fully satisfied that there
will be good perch fishing this spring.
1t is stated that good fishing Invariably
river
is covered with ice. and there has heen
more ice on the river this season than
usual.
And. consequently. there should be
better fishing" said Will Reynolds.

Is displaying an amount of enthusiasm
over the prospects for early sport He
thinks the white perch season will
open earlier than usual and he also
hopes there will be some bass fishing
in the tidal basin before the closed
spring season.
"Grass in the basin interferes with
the sport" said the enthusiastic SPORTS
man. but I have found a contrivance
that will overcome the trouble.
And in the future" he added. "I do
not expect to lose any fish on account
Of the grass"
Several anglers have planned an
early trip to Rock Point, Md, where
they are going to make an effort to
get some of the early run Of white
perch Walter Hurley says he thinks
they ought to be caught in the lower
river and tributaries long before thew
appear in the river in the vicinity Of
the city. 1t probably will be only a
question OF getting bait.
