Anglers Preparing to Whip Streams As Fishing Season Opens April l5;
 30,000 Expected Out On First Day

streams 20 trout.
 Angling for fish, other than trout will, be permitted from July 1 to November 1, in the following streams: Pennington river, west branch; Fenton river, below Bas- sett's bridge; Natchaug. at North Windnam pond, only; shepaug, from Judd's bridge to Housatonic, with no fishing north of the railroad bridge at Judas. All trout caught after June 30 must be immediately returned to the waters without in- jury.
 The rules set up for fishermen arc not designed to limit, the activities of anglers but to enable the board to continue the leasing of fishing privileges for their use. In the leased stream movement, says Su- perintendent John w. Titcomb, the board must give first consideration to the landowner. The owner must be satisfied and not disturbed by vandals or thoughtless anglers who cross cultivated lands. If the land owners are content with the conduct of tho anglers, the interests of the anglers will be best served. Anglers must not only treat landowners as hosts but see to it that their friends and the men they meet on the streams do likewise. Care must be taken that private property is not disfgured or filtered with refuse and that no nuisance is committed. Dis regard of general laws or of regula- tions means prosecution and forfei- ture of license or permit.
