than II has been any time this
season. Big schools of trout are
to be found at any OF the bay or
river fshing grounds. The fsh are
generally large and while soft or
speeler crabs seem to be the best
bait, they will also take blood
worm and shrimps. Several good
catches OF rock fish have been made
but the fsh are not large. Bait
generally plentiful at the resorts
but to be on the safe side take some
with you.
In the fresh water the conditions
are fair with a number of good
fish being taken. The Potomac
near by has been unit for fishing
several days but unless more
storms come along the water will
no doubt be all right today. At
Harpers Ferry the big river is clear.
with the Shenandoah not in perfect
condition. the south fork of this
river being muddy and the north
fork clear. II you are going to
fish in Virginia. better take out a
license for safety and peace of
mind.
