fTesn water nSnlnE offers but
little promise in the nearby waters
The Potomac is very muddy and all
of its tributaries except the Shen-
andoah appear to be in the same
state, so if you contemplate going
after bass the latter named river
appears to offer the only oppor-
tunity. At the salt water fishing
places the sport is in full swing
with an increase in the number Of
trout being caught while the hard
heads. spots and perch are still
plentiful.
