JEWETT CITY

| There is plenty of good ice fishing
nowadays in the several ponds and
reservoirs around town. Last week two
| fishermen to.!f 60 pickerel from Ben
netts cove III the upper Aspinook. All
were over tie prescribed .Welve in
| ches in length The ice was scant
| four inches. An item IL The Nor
Wich Bulletin OF Monday, Fob. 3. 1918,
states that party of fishermen went
to the same Benefits cove to fish and
after cutting down through twenty in
ches of fiint~iike ice the length of the
axe handle, they gave it up as a bad
lob.
For several years back. 2 fisherman
has made great catches OF pickerel
| through the ice in the shallow water
of the upper cast side Of TadDole pond.
Two winters ago he caught between
100 and 700 liclzerel there during the
winter. 1t was this fisheIlnan's Gus
tom, 10 put his tip-upH III as soon
as the ice would bear his weight and
not remove them until tile lhaw in the
spring. The game law rerGs that no
tip-up, bob or similar device shall be
used, set or allowed to remain set ex-
cept between the hours III :, O'Clock
in the morning ard eight O'Clock in the
evening. Vocation of this law means
a heavy fine. Ashland pond abounds
with large mouth blact: bass. They
viii take the live bait usei for picker
ell if they see it ana rreoIently are
caught on tip-ups, when the fisherman
is after picIerel. Not long ago a
fisherman on Ashland pord caught a
"whoppeT' o; a black bass. The fish
had swallowed bait hook, sinker and
several inches of No. . line To dis
gorge the nook meant GCaih TO the
bass, to cut the line ard drop him
back also meant a lingering death.
The fisherman asks what was / to do
when thee law plainly reads hack bass
shall not be Gshed for or taken by any
device except fishing or angling with
hook or line, the line held in hand or
attached to a rod held in hand.
The fisherman farther dcposcs and
states, He was a beauty. and l hated
like thunder to drop him back in"
w. r. Palmer, newly appointed
deputy game warden, has one of the
finest trout brooks in tn, county run
ming through his farm. Also at his
very door is some of the best bass
fishing to be had anywhere He says
this coming season that violations OF
! the law will IN no case lie tolerated.
