BY GEORGE HUBER.

Beginning with the cool days Of
late August and continuing until it
becomes too cold to fish in COM
fort, black bass angling in the up
per Potomac offers fresh-water an
glers some of the best sport to be
found all year in the vicinity Of
Washington.
Fighting smallmouths are to be
found in both size and quantity
anywhere from the foot of Little
Falls at Chain Bridge on up to
the hills of Northern West Virginia
and Maryland, where the Potomac is
a clear. little stream not much
larger than Rock Creek. Places
where they can be caught are le-
gion and easy to find most of the
time.
Research Pays Dividends.
Those anglers who are willing to
do a little research work can dis
cover spots known only to a few
natives, and such work has its re-
ward in producing stretches of river
seldom f1shed and in which live
Evening star., 1941-08-29
Potomac Shadows Yield Fancy
Crop of Bass for Those Who
Take Trouble to Explore

some of those grandpappy bass you
read about.
Some of the best-known spots,
and consequently the most flshed,
are Seneca, Harpers Ferry, Will
Transport, Falling Waters, Shep-
herdstown and other sized
towns located on the river. But
there are others one can find and
keep to ones self. Hop in your car
and drive 10, 20 or 100 miles as
the fancy suits you. Stop in at a
gas station or little tavern, purchase
a cold drink and start fishing
conversation with almost any one
hanging around. Ten 10 one, you'll
be told of spot nearby known only
to local folk and necessitating a
trip through several farms and
gates but which will be all the
more rewarding in being out of the
way and seldom fished.
Suit your fancy as to the method
of fishing used. Live bait will pro-
duce, either minnows or hellgram-
ties. Plugs and flies are equally
good. Wade the shallow bars. rifles
and rapids or get a boat to pole
through the deeper spots. Waders
have only week or two at best left
to them. After that it will be too
cold.
Long Trip Unnecessary. .
It isn't necessary to go far for
good wading water. In the smile
stretch of Little Falls just above
Washington there are spots that can
be reached when the water is low
that seldom, if ever, have seen a
fisherman. They're hard to- reach,
it's true, and take a lot of scram-
bling over rocks and through dense
underbrush. but fish are there.
Caution is needed, because one slip
can mean a dunking, and in these
dangerous waters possibly some
thing more serious. Wear shoes with
good gripping soles, an old pair OF
golf or baseball shoes is ideal And
have a Maryland license with you.
One last hint, based on recent
experience-solid yellow plugs in
the q -ounce size on long leader
are irresistible.

BUFFALO. Wyo. - There's a
thousand dollar blk plus $1,000
in lesser amounts, floating around
in Lake De Smet, near Buffalo,
where it's pleasant to fish for
trout of a summers afternoon.
A fellow can capture the thou
sand by catching one 10-pound
trout which probably would give
him a thrill, at the end of s.
ounce pole, that almost might
equal the fun of finding he was
worth the 10 centuries.
The sportsmen of Northern
wyoming figured the $500 would
add spice to their seasons fishing
program. They raised the prize
money.
Then they pinned a tag on the
right gill Of Old Silver, the 10

Neither is it going to be long be-
fore the yellow perch come down

on the same grounds; fishing that
lasts we'll through the winter for
those tough enough to take it.
Ocean City Fishing Late.
Along the ocean front the hot
spot, of course, is Ocean City, for
the fishing that should have been
there in July is in full swing now.
The school tuna are there for
those who like their tough, boring
fight. When they are striking right
they can keep boat in an uproar,
but there also are large numbers
of white marlin, and their spectacu-
lar in-the-air battle is worth that
of a dozen tuna. More important
than even the whites are the blue
marlin that seem to have taken
possession of the waters inside the
famous Jack Spot.
Two have been caught this week
one weighing 346 pounds, the other
285. There is every chance others
will be taken during the next several
weeks, for most of the boats are
using heavier tackle and large bats
That those two were caught on
small squid bats usually used in
fishing for white marlin is an oddity
unless the big fellows also are feed
ing on the squid. which is not their
habit in Atlantic waters.
Two other reasons why marlin
should not be in Maryland waters is
the low temperatures of the water
(after two days of an easterly the
surface temperature was but 74)
and the absence of bait fishes. But
they are there, and probably will re-
main until the equinox or a snorting
northeaster.
1t is the recommended fishing
right now, if one can obtain boat

Federal officials put stop today
to persistent rumors along the local
water front that after September l
motor boat operators here will not be
sold gasoline unless they are en-
gagged in some defense duty or an
emergency.
The Office of Petroleum Co-ordi-
nator Ickes said that the report
was without foundation and that
no such action was even contem-
plated by the Government.
They pointed out that Secretary
Of Interior Ickes had gone on rec
ord at his last press conference be-
fore leaving for a Western vaca-
ton as saying motor boat owners
would stand their fair share of the
gas rationing. providing the boats
are employed purely for pleasure.
Classed With Autos.
"BoatS are the same as auto
biles to u.s." one official said. 1T
makes no difference whether the
engine that consumes the gas is on
an automobile chassis or a boat
hull"
Little attention would have been
paid to the rumors if they had not
cropped up at several important
yacht clubs, where, incidentally,
gasoline is sold. They had persist
ed for a week and, like most rumors,
became more authoritative as they
were repeated.
Basis of the report, perhaps, can
be traced to the fact Yacht Basin
No. 2, site. of Capital Yacht Club,
has ceased selling gas to yachtsmen,
whether club members or visitors
This is explained simply, however.
The retailer who runs the conces-
sion also operates nearby station.

he expects little difficulties with the

Corinthian Yacht Club reports it
has taken the usual 10 per cent cut
on fuel deliveries. But since gas is
sold only to club members, no short
age is near.

The shadow of taxation for boats
falls over yachtsmen under sec
ton of the revenue bill of l941,
which will go into effect next Feb
ruary |. 1t includes all boats OF
is feet or more in length and grad
yates the fees from IS to 5000.
The motor vehicle tax is fat SIS
per car, but the users tax on AL
boats, whether propelled by ma
chinery, sail or both," is based on
the following classifications:
Overall length of 16 feet to %
feet, IS; vore % feet to not over so
feet, $40; over so feet but not over
100 feet, $40; over 100 feet but not
over $50 feet. Sl00; over $50 feet
but not over 200 feet, $3.50, and over
all length ever 200 feet, 5000.
Each owner will be issued stamp
or sticker which must be placed on
the vessel taxed. This is the first
time boats between 16 and 28 feet
will be taxed and with the growth
of the small sailing classes through
out the United States there is going
to be many a $5 fee rolling into the
Treasury.
The controversial subject of
whether yacht club tenders or
launches which carry club members
and their guests between shore and
anchored are subject to Federal reg
ulations covering passenger-carrylng
vessels finally has been cleared up.
Charles F. Chapman, commodore
of the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club
at Port Washington, Long Island,
has obtained an opinion from the
Bureau of Marine Inspection and
Navigation here that such boats are
not technically carrying passengers
for hire AS a result, club employees
who run the tenders are not re-
quired to be licensed operators.
Launches, however, must be equip
ped according to regulations gov
erning motorboats not carrying pas
sengerS for hire.
An important meeting of the 20
Foot-Class Yacht Racing Associa-
ton will be held Sunday at pm.
