We have had more fishermen late
ly than fish. The fish In Difficulty
are few and far between at present
for two reasons. First the extremely
high water this spring. which lasted
so long. destroyed thousands of them.
They took refuge in the shallow wat
ers along the banks. and during the
night the water would go down and
leave them in the low places which
soon dried up. and left the fish to
die. This was repeated every day
for two weeks. The second reason
they are SO scarce is because there
are 30 very many fishing all OF the
time.
