the trip until you have learned the
art
Even with considerable polling ex
perience, it takes a husky man to get
a boat through Black Rifles, and
there is lot more swift water be-
tween there and Seneca. But the
trip is well worth the exertion.
There is no more wildly beautiful
scenery anywhere in the vicinity of.
the National Capital than is found on
both sides of the Potomac along this
stretch. And fish are not entirely
absent. although not so plentiful as
at one time. George and Ed claim
to have, caught thirty nice bass on
one such trip only last summer They
divide the labor of polling on the way
upstream, one taking the staff for
half an hour while the other casts,
and vice versa. On the way down
they let the boat drift while they
both fish.
'Louey" Perron is the handy man
OF fishing excursions, and, apart
from his never-faiIing good company,
is a highly priced addition to all fish
ing trips for his ability, quickly and
ingeniously. to repair broken fishing
tackle which otherwise would be use
less. He is veteran fisherman, and
yields to no lone in the number of
fish caught on hook and line in the
Potomac and nearby waters. He was
one Of the organizers and became the
first president of the Potomac Nng-

THESE are the regulars. There are
others who, because they missed
a day or two of attendance during
the past winter, have been placed on
probation, and hence are tempora-
rily outside the pale of the honest-to-
goodness old gang, who might lose
day at work without a twinge OF
conscience, but miss the daily ses-
sion-never.

both have single-track minds, and
scorn to pull in a fish of any other
complexion. When bass fishing is
over, however, or before it has be-
gun, they are still anglers, and have
been known to display without shame
gigantic cat-meanipg catfish, of
course.
One of their favorite ways of
spending a day is to take canoe
from a boathouse above Great Falls
and pole up the Maryland side
through Black Rifles and on to Sen
eca, drifting back around the islands
along the Virginia shore, past the
old Indian fish trap. casting for bass

nothing but artificial bait.

ardor and enthusiasm there as he

No fish story is complete without
mentioning DR.. Victor Brown, chiro-
practor on H street northeast. Be-
ing possessed Of a strong innate sense
of duty, DR.. Brown finds himself
every so often torn between respon-

On these occasions he endeavors to
compromise with duty by inviting his

gained the ascendancy at a time
when business might have interfered

Brown has fished up the river and

He has fished in the bay and in the

There are no obscure spots on the
river, so far as this fisherman and
his boat are concerned. Any place
the boat can go becomes familiar
territory to Mooney, and, knowing the
habits of fish, he can seek them out
unerringly in their lairs.
Bass and rock are about the only
fish Mr.. Mooney cares to catch. and
so interested is he in the preserva-
tion of this sport that he never lets
pass an opportunity to report catches
made by others out of season or by
unlawful methods. Needless to say,
he also obeys the letter as we'll as
the wording of the laws relating to
lass fishing, and is interested in the
SECURING of additional legislation to
further protect the sport.
1t is said of Henry Madert that he
can catch more fish from the mad

When he was chief clerk of the Post

time to drop in for the noon hour

master and was moved over near the

However, his new work does not
interfere with Mr.. Moneys inclina-
ton to fish nor with carrying that in
clination into effect. Being possessed
of fine launch, when the tolls and
cares of the day are over the post
master is wont to repair to his boat
for a quick run down the river to
some favored spot where he may give
himself to his obsession without
