AS previously stated, the reason
more fish are not caught in this vi
cinity is that only a comparatively
few anglers go out. One riyer-front
man told the writer that the fisher
men in the Potomac around Wash
ington a.e now few and far between.
The same man gave the informa-
ton that for the last three or four
mornings he has seen fish jumping
or breaking water just above the
Aqueduct Bridge. He said that they
were too far away to tell exactly what
kind they were, but from their white
appearance he thought they must be
rock.
The big rock fish landed last week
just above the Three Sisters by John
Better. weighing I4hs pounds, led him
to believe there were others in the
river about the same size. Acting upon
this belief he was soon back at the
same place and hooked one that
broke his line and made off with
hooks and sinker. Every day since
he has been back to get another
strike from the big one he lost, but
SO far has not had even nfbble.
Notwithstanding the extreme heat,
followers of the rod and reel in salt
water report most gratifying results.
Jim Clarke of New York and J. E.
Hantznan, a local angler, motored
down TO Shady Side last week and
under the guidance of Capt Lee were
soon off Thomas Light. They landed
one trout weighing IA pounds, eight
trout ranging from two to four pounds
and numerous big hardheads, spot and

den of Maryland, contemplates urging
establishment of license requirements
throughout Maryland similar to those
instituted by Delaware recently. Six
Maryland counties now have local
license laws regarding fishing.
Delaware's campaign against fishers
from other States began with the ar
rest of five men from Pennsylvania
for fishing in iSalmons Lake, near
Chesapeake City, Md.
The lake is two miles in length, La
Compile said, about one-third of the
area of the body of water being
in Cecil County Md. Since there are
no local license laws in Cecil County,
no fees are required from persons fish
ing in the Maryland part of the lake.
Delaware requires purchase of a
license costing SIS.
Six Maryland counties-Garrett
Allegany, Washington, Frederick, Car
roll and Dorchester-require IS license
fees from nonresident fishermen.
If1PTna Gin of
resident hunting license from $40 to
SIS is being considered by LIE Compile
West Virginia and Pennsylvania have
recently raised the cost of non-resi-
dent licenses issued in those States
to SIS
Adjustment of the present county
and State hunting license, now cost
ing 81 and SIS, respectively. also is
being considered. 1t has been pro-
posed to sell a 50 Statewide license to
take the place of the present county
and Statewide licenses in Maryland.
