eels are apparently stricken with a
plague that is playing havoc in their
ranks became known only last week.
when reports of the sudden death of
hundreds of the fish in branches of
Middle River, Frog Mortar, Dundee,
sues Creek, Normans Cove. the MAgo-
thy: the Severn and Rock Creek were
made. Fishermen who returned from
there stated that dead fish and eels
literally covered the water and lined
the shores, where the receding tides
had left them. The majority Of the
fish had portions of their bodies eaten
away. bits of the flesh hanging from
them. IL was reported.
Other live fish apparently suffer
ing from the malady were seen in
numbers. The fish acted sluggish and
made no effort to get out of the way
of the boats, it was said. Their sides
and back were mottled with whitish
splotches that gave them the appear
ance OF being camouf1aged.
State officials are at loss for an ex-
planation of the malady, which they
believe is a form of fungus which has
made its appearance suddenly among
the piscatorial tribes. 1t may have
pollution, though just what they are
at loss to explain.
Plans being made for stocking
trout have been announced by State
Game Warden Z. Lee LeCompte. The
1zaak Walton League, at meeting
at Frederick, announced that 1000
trout would be placed in Middleford
Creek and the Monocacy River in
October The State Conservation
Commission was asked to stock the
streams with a similar amount of fish.
State Conservation Commission er
Swepson Earle and Mr.. LeCompte in
spected a proposed site for a game
refuge at Catoctin Furnace, near Mid
dletown, but found the site unsatis-
factory.
Members 4 of the Izaak Walton
League were authorized to consult
with Frederick city authorities to Sc
cure leases on property on Fishing
Creek, at the Frederick municipal
dam, according to LIE Compte. If the
property can be leased, game re-
serve will be established, he said.
