TIME cry going out from anglers in
the bay and its tributaries is
only an echo from other Sec
tions. It seems from news
paper dispatches that there is
a scarcity Of fish over all Of the coun-
try. The law of supply and demand can
not be met. Thousands Of new an
glers are going out each year, both men
| and women. The fish hatcherieS OF
the country cannot hatch flsh to meet
this new demand.
Then, too, the anglers are partly to
blame. Many anglers on fishing trip
pay no attention to the small fish they
catch. Their one thought seems to be
"how many" and nothing else. The
small fish instead Of being returned
to the water are thrown into the bottom
OF the boat. where they are left when
the days excursion is over. 1t would
less a matter of education. The anglers
blame this or that for their poor
| catches. when they themselves could
better conditions II they would pay a
little more attention to the size of the
fish they keep. As previously stated in
this column, an angler can use only
q certain number Of fish for his table.
Two consecutive meals OF fish are
enough for any family ana the majority
only care Tor one uSn meal each WeeA.
How much better 1t would be If the
anglers would ask each other, what
was the largest fish," instead of how
many did you catch. A big catch of fish
is more or less of q nuisance. First
you have q hard time getting them
back to town with you: second, after
you have made your selection for the
| family meal or meals, you have to pick
up the telephone and call your neigh

of the fish, and In the majority Of
cases they win ask you If they are
cleaned and II you can bring them
over. In the opinion of this column
| the matter of big catches should be
taken up by the Izaak Walton League
and broadcast throughout the country.
The benefit would quickly be noticed.

Other anglers blame the lack Of flsh
on the many nets placed in the bay
and its tributaries by commercial fish,
ermen; others say the purse METERS
angler writing In says he thinks that
due to recent rains there will be a
great improvement In the number and
size of fish caught. Whatever the rea-
son may be, there Is no doubt that
fishing is worse this year than 1t has
been for some seasons. AS matter of
fact, the rod and reel anglers are get
ting fewer fish each year. Three or
four years ago many fine f1sh game were
caught in the bay and rivers, both still
fishing and trolling. But each sue
ceeding year finds the catches growing
smaller and smaller for the anglers
and also for the commercial fishermen.
The rod and reel anglers cannot be
blamed for this condition, because they
do not operate except during the shad
and herring season and few can be
seen in the water after that season is
over. Virginia has q law which pro-
hibits more than 2 per cent of edible
'nsh being caught in these nets and this
aw is strictly enforced. This leaves
the matter almost entirely up to the
purse meters, who are killing the goose
that lays the golden egg. Facts are
stubborn things, fish are getting more
scarce each year, and by the methods
used by the purse METERS the fish final
ly will be exterminated.
A very alarming report to reach this
column during the last week was the fact
that purse METERS, failing to make any
good catches in the bay, have visited
the Potomac around Piney Point and
Tall Timbers. The places are among
the few which have furnished faily
good sport for the anglers this season.
Sometimes good news travels just as
fast as bad, and this good news evident
ly reached the ears of purse METERS,
who Immediately set forth in quest Of
the rock and other fish reported to be
caught in this vicinity. The report
which comes from one ir authority
states that seven or eight purse nets
have been operated in the Potomac.
If this Is so, there Is certainly no ex-
cuse for their not being apprehended,
fined and their boats and nets confis-
Gated. 1t is against the law and is a
matter for the Maryland authorities.

He also said that the recent drought

was about $50 miles, compared with
more than 5000 miles before the con-
struction of dams, ETC., for power pur-
poses. The same report states that the
time appears not too far of when
salmon fishing in the California streams
will have passed. Surveys Of other
streams Of the country undoubtedly viii
show that the same condition exists.
The advance of civilization has de-
prived the fish of miles and miles of
their former spawning grounds. Coupled
with dam sites is the perhaps more
deadly evil of pollution Of streams.
Local anglers need 60 no farther than
the Potomac River for an example.
This beautiful river Is more or less
polluted; Rock Greek is polluted and
Rock Greek flows into the Potomac.
You can't fool nature and nature guides
the fish. These denizens Of the deep
will quickly disappear from polluted
water as man from fire. Fire destroys
everything within its reach and so does
polluted water. The fish are killed or
suffocated If they remain in polluted
water and those that escape fear to
return.
