Conowingo Club Hits Re-
moval Of Bass

The Conowingo Fishing Club,
meeting at the Susquehanna Hotel,
Darlington, joined the Cecil County
Anglers Club in protesting against
the netting of bass in the waters of
Cecil and Hartford Counties to be
sold in the states Of Pennsylvania
and Delaware for stocking purposes.
Action by the Cecil County Angl-
ers Club was taken last week in
Elkton.
1t is reliably reported that net
catches are made during daylight
hours and after the culling process
by fishermen, the legal size bass
are sold in local markets while the
small bass are transported at night
in tank trucks to other states where
they are sold for stock.
In the North East River section
this process has been in effect for
several years. The various fishing
clubs are now banding to take legal
action.

Oppose Netting Of
Bass In State
Cecil County Anglers Pass
Resolution Of Protest

The Cecil County Anglers Club
has passed a resolution protesting
against the catching of black bass
in Maryland waters with nets. The
club also went ON record as opposing
the catching of bass from Maryland
rivers for the stocking Of ponds in
other states.
1t is said that over 10000 bass
were netted and purchased out of
the Susquehanna and North East
Rivers during the past year for
stocking ponds in Delware and
Pennsylvania.
These fishermen, under the pres
ent law can come into Cecil county,
and without a permit, catch bass,
load them in tank cars for distant
points, while fountains cannot buy
the fish because of a contract with
commercial fishermen and the pres
ent law which requires a permit for
local fishermen to transfer bass for
stocking purposes.
The club has appointed the fol-
lowing committees:
Entertainment: Charles H. JEFF
fers, DIR. V. H. Mcknight, and Hor-
ace B. Lilly; special objects for COM
servation, George Pennington, e. B.
Flockler George C. Rawson, Marion
Rose and Wharton Wallis; men,
