Just why the sportsman Of the.
lower streams should have the adj
vantage over the upper riverrnan
is easily explained. l Il
The Potomac, from the Chain
bridge up to its source, is tideless
and bare. Practically no marsh to
speak of dots the rugged waters.
Therefore, the only way possible
for the water to rid itself Of the
mud that it carries is to let 1t
run off, which takes time.
Heavy grasses, acting as purifiers
or cleansers, run for miles on
either side of the lower river, thus
giving the creeks a natural filtra-
ton plant when the tide rises and
falls.
