MARLBORO POND FISH

spends his summers in Brattleboro,
and County Fish and Game Warden
u. II. Metealf, the state FISH and game
commissioner II. p Sheldon of Mont
pelier, has authorized the carrying out
Of certain experiments at Marlboro
South pond, the idea being to deter
mine whether there are any trout and
salmon there at the present time, NJ
so to remove coarse fish detrimental
to the welfare of trout and salmon.
1t Is thought that there are some
large specimens Of these fish in the
pond now, and it is definitely known
that there are large numbers of eels.
suckers and pond sinners present
A large seine has been shipped to
County Warden Metealf from the Rox
bury hatchery, and this will be used
at the pond under the wardens super
vision. 1t is hoped that a sufficient
number of whole-hearted sportsmen
will volunteer their help so that the
operations may be carried out at no
expense to the state, and anyone who
would be willing to go to the pond
and help should notify County Ward
en- Metcalf at once.
The pond is splendid place to go
for a picnic, and incidentally one can
help advance the cause of good fish,
ing at this place
Experimental eel traps are being
constructed and will be used at the
lpcnd, as eels are very abundant there
and are known to be very destructive
to trout spawn and spawning beds. 1t
will also help conditions at the pond
If some Of the pond sinners can be
removed, and that will be easy II
there are enough people interested SO
that the nets can be manned proper.
ly. OF course it will not take a regi
ment to do the necessary work, but
there is plenty of room for specta
tors, and a picnic lunch will taste just
as good at South pond as 1t would
anywhere else An automobile road
extends clear in to the pond, Anyone
who is willing to help will confer q
favor by letting Mr.. Metcalf know al
once.
