since April IS. to be exact,
u but as far as we have been able
to find out no one has been making
any exceptionally good catches. The
Virginia Game and Fish Commission
stocked many Of the streams with
legal-size trout this Spring, but these
government fish," as they are known
to the natives, don't put up quite the
battle. that their wilder brothers do.
They still will supply plenty of sport.
though, to anglers using the lighter
rod and line.
Working along Dry River. near the
West Virginia border last Sunday,
George w. Miller and his son, Leroy,
were able to take 13 fair-si1ed spec
kled trout in the early morning. The
stream was clear, so they were able
to use their dry flies. They also
caught several rainbow trout. These
latter fish, although over the legal
size limit, still were young fellows. 80
were put back into the stream.
THE best fishing trip he has ever
- taken, and he has fished all over
the country, has been reported by
Joseph A. Mortimer. With his son,
Earl; his wife, and his daughter-in
law, he went to Broom's Island and
fished the Patuxent Sunday after
noon. Mortimer was high in his
praise of everything-the guide, Gour-
ley Elliott; the fishing grounds. the
weather and the catch. Using crabs
for bait, the party took 80 hard
heads, none less than 21s pounds, and
3 Of them tipped the scales at better

Barron hauled in a 36-pound channel

trip was marred, however, by the fact
that. four boats overturned in the
surf and one person was drowned
while he was there.
This was Barron's first experience
with blues, and pound for pound, he
says, they put up bigger fight than
any fish he has ever caught. That big
channel was presented to the Central
Union Mission.
A H. MEARS reports that 40 to 100
trout are being taken per boat
at Wachapreague, Va, and that the
big bass and blues will be coming in
starting next month.
James Jarman, at Ocean City, Md,
says that still fishing in the ocean
and around the wrecks is very good,
with Sea bass and porgies doing the
biting. The blues are expected there
this week end, according to Capt.
Crawford Savage.

ported at Herring Bay by Clarence
