VIRGINIA MAY HIT
GAME FISH LIMIT
Proposed Action Strikes at
Federal Program of
Conservation.

It appears that Virginia is to take
the astounding step of doing away
with any size limit on brook trout,
black bass and other inland game
fish. Carl H. Noting, chairman of
the Dominion's Commission on Game
and Inland Fisheries, has called a
meeting of the commission next Mon
day in Richmond, it is learned to
consider such a change in law. and
it is understood that the commission
favors the proposal.
Strong opposition is naturally being
voiced to any such move by the local
fishing fraternity, which points out
that such a move is entirely out of
keeping with conservation ideals aid
will be a distinctly backward step
by an important State.
The Federal commissioner of fish,
cries. Frank T. Bell, has stated that
he is opposed to such action and that
any State which provided no size
limit would offer discouragements to
the Federal bureaus restocking pro-
gram. Glen c. Leach, chief of the
division of fish culture of the same
bureau, and Talbot Denmead. its law
enforcement officer, echo their chief S
sentiments
Seth Gordon, president of the Amer
ican Game Association, when informed
OF the proposed change, said that he
could conceive of no State commits
sion taking such action, that there
were only eight States in the Union
now without such a law and that it
would be backward step.
Action of the Virginia Fish Com
mission. as proposed, is opposed by
DR.. NJ. Darcy Magee, vice president
of the Izaak Walton League of Amer
lea and president of the local chapter,
and will be anXiously awaited by the
many local anglers, the majority of
them also being opposed to removing
OF the size limit on fresh-water fishes,
