)LARENCE FOSTER, State
game warden of Delaware,
has informed the Bureau of
Fisheries that the State Leg
islature passed the bill prohibiting
the sale CT black bass at all times,
whether taken within or without the
State.
The new law changes the open
season on black bass and calico bass
from May 25 to February l, to June
Is to February /. This permits the
fish to spawn another month.
The Legislature evidently expects
great improvement in bass fishing un-
der the law, because it raised the
nonresident anglers license fee from
SIS to $3.50. but provides that non
resident women who are accompanied
by q nonresident license holder do
not have to obtain a license. No
license is required TO fish in the Della
ware River, Atlantic Ocean and In
dian River Inlet.
A part-time anglers license for nom
residents also is provided for s325,
good for six days. Fishing is legal
on Sunday.
Delaware's action is in line with
the suggestions and policies OF the
United States Bureau of Fisheries in
its campaign for better protection OF
the black bass.
