BUSY FOR WEEKS
PREPARING CRAFT
Record Sales at New York
Show Are Reflected in
Activity Here.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

n A ORE cash business than ever
nu before in the 36-year his
VI tory of the New York Boat
n Show was negotiated by the
country's leading motor boat and en-
gine manufacturers last January, and
that first tip-off on the national Situ-
alton for 1896 is being matched on
a comparative scale by the early ac-
tivity of local boat lovers.
Not deigning to wait for the per-
manency of warm weather, many of
the Districts seagoing Sportsmen
have been busy for weeks, lured by
the annual Spring desire to drive a
nail and WELD paint brush in some
instances, and forced to patch up
craft damaged by the flood in others.
The inundation, ironically enough,
proved benefit to the membership
of certain clubs which received ap-
plications from some boat owners
who formerly anchored their cruisers
in the river, but who sought safety
in the protecting harbor of nearby
club as soon as they were able to
navigate.
Especially has the arrival of sea-
sonable sailing and cruising weather
been awaited by nearly 100 local
yachtsmen whose taste for the sea
has been sharpened by a Winters
course in navigation. This course,
conducted under the auspices of the
United States Power Squadron. has
drawn nearly 100 men to Central
High School four nights week.

DESIGNED to produce Al navi-

period of four years-piloting, ad-

fish deposit from 500 to 1000 eggs.
No game fish is more worthy OF pro-
lection than the brook trout.
THE rainbow trout, eagerly sought,
when landed in Eastern waters
provides a substitute for the native
brook trout in waters which have be-
come unsuitable for that species as
a result of advancing civilization.
The rainbow belongs to the Pacific
slope of the Rcky Mountains and
wherever found eastward is an i'm
portation. The acclimatization OF this
fish in other parts of the United
States and in foreign countries Is one
of the notable successes of modern
fish culture.
We do not think anglers rate the
rainbow trout with the brook trout
as a game fish, but it grows much
larger and consequently puts up a
great battle before being landed. 1t
is every inch fighter.
1t also feeds on insects, flies. grass
hoppers and worms, and is an excel
lent food fish. With its broad, iri-
descent, purphsh-red band along the
side, the rainbow trout is well named
The largest of this species landed by
an angler weighed 26l2 pounds.
THE brown trout is native of Eu-
rope, tranSplanted in America.
This species belongs to the salmon
family like its cousins, the brook and
rainbow trout. 1t also feeds on angle
worms, insects, flies and minnoWs,
and is of the very best food value.
The brown or German trout, as it
is sometimes called. is much more
hardy than the brook or rainbow. 1t
is a wonder the conservation depart
ments do not plant more of this
species. The female carries from l 900
to 1000 eggs at spawning time.
The heaviest reported landed by
rod and reel weighed 28l2 pounds.
The conservation departments of
the nearby States have released all
three species. We hope you will get
your share or your bag limit.

" sylvania will open their trout
streams to anglers and a week

N YEXT Wednesday, April IS, the
nj States of Virginia and Penn
sylvania will open their trout
streams to anglers and week
later West Virginia will follow suit.
All trout streams in these States
have been heavily stocked, so you can
visit your favorite spot and be as
sured either of your bag limit or a
fairly good days catch.
The closest trout stream to WASH
ington Is Colvin or Wheeler's Mill
Run, l8 miles distant in Virginia. It
is reached by taking the Fails Church
road, turning right on green light at
Falls Church and proceeding along
the Leesburg highway to miles
beyond Tysons Corners. We have
visited this stream, witnessed the
planting of many hundreds of trout
from 7 to IL inches and fully realize
the sport in store.
Before visiting any streams in the
three States be sure you have obtained
your 1886 fishing license.
THE brook trout belongs to the SAL
mon family and has wonderful
fighting qualities. 1t feeds on angle
worms, insects, flies and minnoWs.
Some of the early anglers prefer to
take it with worms, but 95 per cent
of the fishermen use wet and cry flies
and different small lures to land these
Speckled beauties.
The heaviest native brook trout
taken with rod and reel weighed 18 3-l6
pounds. Needless to say, this record
fish was not landed in our section of
the country, where 1-pounder is a
fairly large fish.
Trout culture in America dates
back to the early SOS and now fish
culturists raise them by the hundreds
of thousands. These fish spawn in
the Fall, when streams begin to cool,
but the eggs do not hatch until Spring
brings higher water temperature. The
Matching period lasts from three to
six months, according to latitude and
altitude. They spawn when 2 years
