All signs point to q wonderful
Spring fishing season II the reports
reaching tfiis column during the past
week are true. and there is no reason
tb doubt them. One comes from a
man who Just returned from Colonial
Reach. He said that the net fisher
men we're making the largest hauis
of white perch at the Beach. they have
sxnsrjenced for years. and that the
pefch we're Of unusual size. many OF
them weighing a pound or more. The
same kind Of report comes from
BENEDICT. where net fishermen are
making large hauls Of white perch.
some buck shad also have been landed
In the nets at both places.
The big question Is, will these big
perch reach the head waters of the
Potomac i'm the vicinity OF Chain
Bridge, and If they do. will they re-
main and depQsit their spawn? 49,.
lin the opinion of this column. the
reason for this big run Of perch in
the lower Potomac is due to the fact
that the recent heavy storms along
the coast off the Virginia Capes de-
stroyed the ma j0rity Of the long nets
that have prevented the fish from
entering the Bay and Potomac River.
MARY Nets StHt taecu
OF course. there still are a large
number of nets in the river between
Colonial Beach and Washington. IL
these perch and others of the Spring
invaders can run the gantlet, 1t Is
safe TO saw that this seasons fishing
around washington will he the best
that has been enjoyed for a long
time. 1t will recall to many anglers
the day when white perch of good
size could he landed by the basket
fuls. AT A not far distant time it was
even unnecessary to obtain boat
fishing from either shore producing
good results.
There is, perhaps, another reason
why these fish have not been so pieh.
tiful recently. It, may be that the
water Of the Potomac, declared pol

in keeping these fish away from their
