II was a gloomy aggregation of trout
fshermen-who have waited long and
patiently for April that cast weather
h. ct a
noon and finally reluctantly admitted
that there was no chance for good trout
ing weather today, the opening Of their
favorite season.
Inches Of snow and slush cover the
ground ice fringes the brooks. and these
conditions are not rated except as handi-
raps. In addition country highways
leading TO the best brooks in this terri
tory are practically impossible for au-
tomobilss. And it has been so cold that
few fishermen have been able to obtain
angle works. So there is no Joy among
The trout fishermen this morning, though
some Of them vowed that they would go
cut with the break Of day II they had to
70 on snow shoes and they were willing
10 gamble that thew would show good
strings Of the beauties by earlv after
noon. And here's good luck to them.
Roads are so cut to pieces and deep
with mud. east Of here, that residents
Of some sections are practically maroon
rooned. Especially in the eastern part
OF the town, near South Killingly and
beyond that place, and the roads near
North Sterling are as near impossible
FOR vehicular traffic as they have been in
a spring season for years. Many people
over in that territory have said over
telephone lines to friends in Danielson
that they have had TO abandon shopping
trips 10 Danielson until the travelling is
Improved. Horse-drawn vehicles manage
10 get through, but automobiles are in
the discard for the present insofar as
travel in the territory mention is refer
red to-off the improved highways.
