ROD AND REEL

Realizing the fall fishing season
on salt water is fast coming to q
close, anglers are taking advantage of
every opportunity to wet their lines.
The largest trout caught by local
anglers in the past few years were
landed the past two or three weeks in
Chesapeake bay. Big trout have been
in evidence at all points between An
napolis and the mouth Of Patuxent
river. The large fish were caught on
Annapolis and the mouth Of Herring
bay. Some weighed eight pounds.
Anglers regret that the fishing ex-
cursions to Chesapeake Beach the past
two Sundays will not be repeated, to-
morrow. There will be no more spe-
cial trains this season for the ben
eft Of fishermen. Patrons OF the reg
ular trains can get in four hours of
fishing.
The fishing excursions by French
and the Potomac Anglers Associa-
ton were thoroughly enjoyed: More

The heavy rain early Thursday
morning proved a setback to .sco.ee
to Herring bay and Annapolis. Some
braved the storm. however. Chevy
Chase Loop Fishing Club contributes
a number of members on trip to
Annapolis. The president of the club
was never known to back down after
making plans.
All the sportsmcn who braved the
wet weather Thursday morning did
not go to salt water. Ten anglers.
most of them Of the police depart
ment, spent the day on Ptscataway
creek None Of them was willing to
report on the number of dsh caught.
Many large catches Of bass in the
several creeks emptying into tho Po-
tomac between this city and GUAM
tico, Va, have been made recently.
Large yellow perch also have been in
evidence. Anglers who visited Aqua
creek the past two weeks tell OF
catches Of bass and perch and a few
pike.
Small-mouth bass anglers hope the
recent rain will result in cooling the
water in the upper river and making
lit high enough to prevent the fish
from budding in pools from whore

that numerous bass already have been
caught. in the vicinity OF Great Falls,
