that rock and perch were caught only
here and there, and small ones at that.
The water was clear, too clear in fact,
and almost icy cold. The cold water,
Skipper Joe said, was probably due to
several small hailstorms up the river
last week
Several bass were captured by Chain
Bridge Saturday, but none was taken
yesterday. A slight cloudiness in the
water might have been responsible, as
fresh water FISH seem to retire when
the stream is cold and crystal clear.
If you are trying for bass around
Chain Bridge be careful how far up
you go as the season has not yet
opened in Maryland. Several new
bass bats and plugs are on the market
this year, which can be worked very
we'll with light "whippy'' bamboo or
the more serviceable hollow-cored
steel rods.
SPEAKING of equipment, one of the
most important items in the an
gler's collection is good line. Nothing
will ruin fishing trip more than to
have one of those big ones get away
as the result of a broken line, so start
the season with new one and keep it
in good condition Salt water especial
ly is apt to rot a line quickly If it is
not dried after each days sport.
1t is little trouble to take the line
of the reel, wash it in fresh water and
wrap it around the back of a chair or
some similar rack so it can dry. A
good wooden spindle designed for line
drying may be purchased for as little
as so cents, and has the advantage
over makeshift dryers of being easier
to handle and more compact. A coll
lapsable metal dryer that fits the
tackle box costs around $50.
When reeling in the line after it is
dry. examine it carefully for frayed
or weakened strands and knots. Make
such repairs as are necessary at the
time; don't wait until just before your
next trip as then you are likely to be
rushed and will In all probability do
poor job.
If this is done you may count on
your line for its full test strength at
all times and seldom will lose a fish
from broken line.
