glers during the past week

apeake Bay from the east
southeast and southwest, making con-
ditions unpleasant and causing the
fish to stop biting and to seek deeper
holes.
The Potomac and Shenandoah
Rivers are reported clear at Harpers
Ferry, but in these streams the hot
weather had its effect on fishing and
those landed were mostly small. Sew
eral fairly good catches were made In
the Patapsco and Monocacy Rivers.
Rock, bass and pike still are being
taken when the water conditions are
right in the Susquehanna River.
Fishing of Swan Point has been

WE CALLED Charles L. Mitchell
wv forecaster at the Weather Bu-
reau, and asked why the winds
have been so high in the Bay for the
past two weeks. He said he had re-
ceived no reports of heavy winds of
the Maryland and Virginia coasts and
did not think any unusual winds had
been blowing in the bay. He said
that today the wind would shift to
the north and northwest and bring
temporary relief for the anglers for
several days.

returned from his nets of the mouth
of West River Friday with a catch OF
$500 pounds of trout. He said NO
other kind of fish was in the catch

made a catch of 1900 pounds OF trout
Capt. Hazard said the trout came
up the bay on the full moon and now
are in these waters to stay until cool
weather. He said the Bay was rough
again Friday. He also said he OBJ
served a large school of blues break
ing water close to his nets and that
he is now going to chum for these
gamesters and sea trout.
