SEASON PROVES POOR ::
FOR DISTRICT ANGLERS

feed one day and then fast the next;
the time of day had to be taken into
consideration, usually early morning
and late evening, and they also had to
tempt the fish with the right kind OF
bait and lures.
Fish in Chesapeake Bay and the
lower Potomac River have been greatly
diminished by the activities of the
purse meters. One report last season
was that the meters, getting few fish
In the bay. entered the Potomac River
and landed a great many striped bass
or rockflsh IS or 20 miles up from its
mouth.
Wind Hampered Anglers.
As the fresh-water angler has to wait
for clear water following the heavy
Summer rains, the saltwater angler
also has to contend with the elements,
but instead of mud the high winds
play havoc with saltwater streams and
bays and all large bodies Of salt water.
During the 1929 season many a fish
ing party was broken up or sadly dis
appointed by the high winds and con-
Sequent rough water. When the water
Is very rough the fish will not bite, no
matter from which direction the wind
blows.
Last Winter the Maryland Legisla-
ture passed some minor bills pertain
ing to fishing conditions. One. regu-
lating purse meters, simply furthered
their ends by curtailing their season for
operations one month. but instead of
taking the month at the end of their
season, 1t was taken off at the start
In other words. the month Of June was
taken away from the METERS, when no
fish are running in the bay, with the
possible exception Of hardheads. If the
Maryland Legislature had really want
ed to help fishing conditions in the
have been denied them, as it is this
month when the big schools OF fish are
to be seen in the bay and its tribu-
taries.
Last Winter Washington anglers,
headed by DR.. M. Darcy Magee, pres
ident Of the District of Columbia Chap
ter OF the 1zaak Walton League, and
Deputy Commissioner Radcliffe and
Glen G. Leach. chief of the division of
fish culture Of the United States Blu
reau of Fisheries, appeared at Annapo-
lis to lay before the Legislature facts
and figures why the Maryland markets
should be closed to the sale of black
bass. Their efforts were rewarded only
by a law closing the season for bass
in tide water from April l to July 81
and prohibiting their sale during this
period.
While the United States Bureau of
Fisheries and its many fish hatcheries
in different parts OF the country are
working overtime to supply the greater
demand on the part of anglers for bass
and other species of game fish, States
without bass law are permitting these
game fish to be destroyed by thousands.
The local chapter of the Izaak Wal
ton League is fighting for better pro-
lection for haSg and also In cfnr1
