der the general law.
In reply to these inquiries. the de-
partment refers to Section IS of the
fish and game laws, which provides
that the annual closed season on
black bass and white perch in the
rivers, brooks and streams of the
State Is from September 18th until
June goth of the following year.
1t will be noted that the privilege
of keeping black bass or white
perch accidentally hooked while
lawfully trolling in good faith for
land locked salmon, trout or togue,
previous to June 20th--which pre-
walls in some lakes in Maine-does
not apply to the rivers. brooks and
streams.
Fishermen should bear in mind al
ways that there are many waters
governed by special laws. The 1926

suited before fishing.
