CATCH
BY GINO SINH

District anglers are warned that
If they intend to fish in Mary
land or Virginia fresh waters, to
familiarize themselves with the
fishing regulations of those
States and to provide themselves
with the proper licenses.
An angler in an open boat on
the river is easily spotted by the
game wardens. and these same
limbs of the law drag them
quickly and unceremoniously be-
fore a judge.
Recently, at Gunston Cove, a
WaShingtonian. without a Vir-
ginia license, started to row away
from the Virginia shore and was
nabhed by a warden. He had
three reels in his boat. and was
forced to put up a SIS collateral
even though he had not dropped
a hook in the water.
II you are going to fish in re-
stricted waters, be sure you have
license. It's cost is negligible
compared to the trouble you get
:. into if you lack it.
Salt Waters Free
In Virginia, license is needed
to fish in all fresh waters, such
as Pohick, Accotink and GuSton
Cove. whether above or below
tidewater. In Maryland, IL
cenSe is needed only above tide
water. No license is required to
fish in salt waters at any time.
Licenses can be obtained at Atlas.
A special dispensatiOn permits
unlicensed fishing at Great
> Falls, but license is needed to
fish above the dam.
