May first the trout season opened
and a few fishermen hied away to
the haunts Of the speckled beauties
reports of results are that fishing
was poor due to the fact that the
streams had been fished long before
the season opened by the natives
handy to the streams. Law, seasons
Wild life league or State Police do
not seem to be able to catch this
class. And the fact is more appar-
ent that has always fished when they
chose to do so.
