OUTDOORS

Last weeks northeaster ma
terially improved fishing conditions
In the Potomac. Excellent catches
of channel cats are made daily in
the eddies below Great Falls.
Anglers along the Georgetown Chan
mel are hauling in carp and catfish
in considerable numbers. Dough,
beef liver, chicken gut, sun-ripened
minnoWS and garden worms are the
favored bats. Shrimp, when OBJ
talnable, prove attractive to the
larger catfish. Small-mouth bass
fishing continues spotty with live
bait the best bet. Hook your minnow
or mad-tom through the back just
below the dorsal fin, taking care
not to kill the bait, and strike
the bass on the first run. The
small-mouths are sluggish at this
time of year and rarely give the
angler those spine-thrilling runs
which he enjoys in cooler weather.
If you fish with mad-toms clip the
spiny pectoral fins on either side
before batting in the above-sug-
gested manner.
Down the Potomac the water is
clearing and should provide excel
lent sport with large-mouth bass
this week end.
In Chesapeake Bay hardhead and

Soon afterwards a general order

He knew that, to spare as much

lie also knew that the u. S. had
long looked to Paris for its styles.
Why not, then, play the second

would be awkward or downright i'm

Result: discomfort, a possible black
