Can Fish On Dams And Locks

1t is stated that the locks and
dams of the Muskingum river will
not be closed to fishermen, who
comply with the angling laws of
the state. About a week ago no.
tice was issued by the government
to the effect that orders against
trespassing on lock properties
would be invoked This would have
worked a decided hardship on fish
ermen along the Muskiiigum river,
sip e most of the game fish gather
about the dams 1t is stated that
in past too much carelessness has
been evident with fishermen; that
they often leave empty bait cans,
temporarily constructed seats, and
other debris, about the government
property.
1t is stated that hereafter permits
will be necessary from the individ-
ual lockmasters along the river.
