The new state law for fishing re-
quires all persons over 18 to have
a license. In former years, per-
son was permitted to fish in his
own county and the adjoining coun-
ties without a license, but the new
law, which will be enforced rigidly,
requires license in all counties.
The licenses may be obtained
from county clerks, the Department
OF Conservation, Fish and Game
Division, and their delegated agents,
on the payment Of 81. Nonresident
license is S225.
The only exempted persons to this
1aw are honorably discharged SOL
diers, sailors, marines, and army
nurses, farmers and their families.
and bona fide farm tenants, on
their own farms only.
The revenue derived from this
form Of taxation is used solely for
The purpose of restocking the lakes
and streams of the state, and the
guarding of the waters against lille
sal fishing, seining, etc, and all
persons who enjoy this form of
recreation feel that the small
amount charged by the state is used
wisely.
G. o. Stone, game warden at
Bloomington, reports Salt, Indian
Gichland, Doane, Plummer, and
EeanbloSsom creeks and the west
fork of White river muddy, but with
continued fair weather these streams
should be in shape for the opening
Friday.
The Salamonia, st. Mary's and
Wabash rivers in Jay, Adams, Wells
and Blackford counties are at
normal level and the catfish are
biting.
The cats also are biting in the
rivers and streams in the vicinity
of Vincennes, according to a report
from Warden Claude Burnett In
fact, he reports the cats biting fine,
which should be good news for the
angler who likes a well-f1lled bucket.
Jefferson and Jennings county
also reports good fishing, and the
water clear AT Attica, all streams
are clear with the exception of the
Wabash, which is muddy.
GOOD news comes from STARK ana
Marshall counties, the warden from
this part of the state reporting the
bass finished spawning.
According to Warden John
Marlesbury, the waters in Rand
and Henry counties are cloudy.
Bob Reagan and Bob jenkins deny
the charge that they are bluegill
fishermen, but no one has heard
of them canceling their order for
one bushel of hardShell crawfish
which every one knows is this pan
flsh's diet.
Does Pee Wee Van Horn get
peeved when the big ones get away?
Early Sunday morning, Van Horn
had eight fair sized cats in the bag
when he hooked big channel cat
and lost him. To make our first
fish story success, Pee Wee claims
he then tossed the other fish back
in the river and journeyed home
talking to himself.
If all the fishermen carry out
their plans over the weekend, the
city of indianapolis will be we'll
nigh accumulated.
