Suggestion Concerning Bass Fishing

the Morgan County Democrat NJ
J. D. e. Huffman of Grafton, "

I learned to read newspaper
from my fathers Democrat. AS
am retired from railroad service
and have plenty of time to read
thought I would need little more
reading matter. I see Meigs creek
farmers are up in arms on account
Of closing Meigs creek to fishing.
Why not have the conservation
commissioner cut out the spring
bass season and not allow any bass
fishing from January l to June Is
would think that would be bet
ter; as many female bass are
caught in April, that would spawn
in May. This will make more in
crease than could be raised in all
the creeks in county.
