fish.
Now is the time TO plan your fish
ing trip.
As most annual vacations are taken
during the months Of June, July ana
August. a few suggestions about the
outft needed where and when TO go
might not be a bad idea.
Our suggestion Is that you take
plenty Of old clothes. A sweater Is
good for the early morning and the
cool Of the evening. A ralncoat or
slicker Is often a welcome friend on
most fishing trips
II YOU are going to flsh from a canoe
or spend your days in a rOwbOat you
will ind a pair Of tennis shoes com
. Portable and safer than shoes. A
straw hat like the farmer wears Is
shady and cool.
If it's stream fishing. hip boots or
waders are the thing. Stream casting
from rocky shores and occasional
crossing OF wet places call for a
fairly heavy pair Of WATERPROOF
shoopacks.
An old pair OF kid gloves for hands
unaccustomed TO handling pair OF
oars should be in the dufile.
"Fly-dope" and anti-moscquitoprep-
arations never go amiss. Ihey suck
up the face and hands, but make ire
more miserable for the common en-
envy than for user-your only salls-
faction
A bit OF adhesive tape-medicated
eallze. cotton. iodine and a mild laxa-
| tive are the other essentials.
Now that we have that dope we arc
ready for the four most important
Instruments OF war-rod reel, line
and lure. In this connection we ad-

for fishing September is another
good time if you can make the grade
then. The man who can stand the
gaff won't find early October so bad
either. Most fish spawn in the spring
which accounts for the closed season
at that time. Brook trout and salmon
spawn in the fail. consequently a
closed season on them IN the fall.
The game season in Delaware opens
May %. This is really too soon as
the fish have not finished spawning
In order to give better protection to
the Qsh the season in this State
should not open until June 10. Open
ing the season so soon also affords
out-of-the-State anglers an OppOrtu-
nifty TO enjoy at least 10 TO 20 days
OF good sport here while they wait
for the season to open in their re-
spective States. While ,it is true we
have the nonresident license law, 1t
is a pretty difficult problem for the
State game warden TO cover the en-
tire State looking for violators Of the
license law.
Let's hope the next Legislature will
enact a law opening the season June
10 and close December 81.
Many anglers paid their annual
weekend visit TO Delaware City and
quite a few brought home some very
nice strings of yellow and white cat
fish. Some Of the anglers who fish
ed the canal proper were doomed TO
disappointment as the fish were not

vailed. made it anything but an agree
