| we put little or no latin In
statements coming from various
sources to the effect that trout and
bluefish are on their way South
and that the best fishing of the
season is over as far as Washing
tonians are concerned. ANY angler,
who has had the good fortune of
being on the briny deep during
the fading days Of October, knows
from experience that the biggest
fish of the year are invariably
/ boated in the early fall.
When the trout clan prepares to
migrate for a warmer cline they
| always take on a quantity of mud,
| much after the fashion of a calael
taking on a supply of water, for
reserve purposes. This is a crude
comparison we will admit, but it
brings out the point that we are
driving at, that as yet no trout
caught have showed any signs of
"mudding up" prior to their move
South.
The fall run of hardheads have
vet to pass. While the fish are
not as numerous as in the warmer
months they compare favorably IN

the early spring.
