along a stream where fishing was
going on, kicking rocks and break
ing twigs and otherwise making
enough noise to scare all the fish
into hiding. Occasionally the fell
lows behind wouldn't wait for the
pool in front to be cleared, but
would move right in. It happened
to us.
We merely stopped fishing
for a second to tie on a new
fly and leader and the fisher
man behind stepped right on
to the same rock and started
casting our pool.
BY all the unwritten laws of
stream fishing, pool in which an
angler is standing belongs to him
and him alone until he sees fit to
move out. II you think the fellow
in front is moving too slowly you
have the right to step out of the
stream and walk around him. BY
no means should you step in and
fish hts pool nor should you COM
NIT the even greater crime of wad-
ing through his pool. But we saw
it happening Sunday on several oc-
casions.
Owens Has Possibilities.
OF course. Sunday was perhaps
the busiest day that Fishing Greek
and Hunting Creek will see this
season. It was the first opportunity
that many had of getting out and
from now on there will be less
fishing, especially on week days.
The State is doing what 1t can to
keep the streams stocked, and every
week the trucks drive up and dump
in a few more cans of brooks or
browns.
One section on which we
saw no anglers was that part
Of Owens Creek that runs -
along the road and railroad
just outside Of Thurmont.
Right now 1t looks as though 1t
would support trout and there
might be some in it, although we
didn't get rise. Later in the sea-
son it dries to just warm trickle,
but it would make a good stream
for stocking early in the season
with the idea that all the fish will
be gone by warm weather.
There appears to be enough bug
and fly life around to- support a
good number Of trout. It is easy
to reach as the road runs beside it
for miles and 1t has any number
of ideal pools and rifles and plenty
of casting room.
