fisherman" on Potomac creek, where
trap nets are run from shore to shore
almost every 100 yards as you go up
stream. with no openings except n few
feet in the channel for the passage OF
motor boats
Angier--Are there many bass In this
creek?
Native quilting up a net) Not so
many as they used to be. They don't
come In.
Angler--Why do you say the bass
are no longer plentiful?
Native-Well. J used to get four or
tive barrels week from my nets, but
of late years ] only gets about one
barrel.
Angler-You will ge, less than that
II you don't stop cleaning out the bass
with nets.
Native tindignantly>--rhe nets don't
have nothing to do with it. The head
OF this creek used to have plenty OF
BASS. and now there amt none.
Angler Tin parting)--Yes. If the bass
don't grow wings to get over some
of your damn nets a single barrel of
them won't succeed in getting into this
creek in year
On Aqua creek a most wonderful
~
are much the same az on Potomac
some eight or ten net fishermen on
crate their nets here from early fall
To late spring. The bass they take are
priced more than any other ffsh--he-
cause they bring the most per pound
in making shipments. the bass are
packed at the bottoms of the barrels
and the carp. catfish, perch. ETC. are
put at the top. thus easing the CON
Sc ence OF all and making a chance in

Some OF the Aqua fishermen have been
convicted for netting bass and have
paid fncs ranging from So to $40 The
hne. of course, WAS recouped by each
incfvidual the next day-~-with more
bass from the nets. hut one of these
offenders has turned over new leaf
he no longer ships bass, The judge
probably in n moment of irritation and
with no serious intent. told him that
the next time he would so on the road
for thirty days. The natives say he
hasn't shipped bass since then. The
incident has a lesson If 1t could only
be applied.
Another worthy citizen of Aouia,
well and long known to the writer. is
loudly positive that the state OF yir-
ginla has no Jurisdiction over the bass.
Furthermore. he entertans theory
That the more bass are netted the
more there will be next year" but he
admits in unguarded moments that tho
bass are becoming less plentiful and
smaller in size each year, The last
time he was arrested was in April,
1919, for shipping several barrels of
bass during the spawning season. He
was hned the enormous sum of $3.50
