A season of considerable impor-
lance to anglers opened on July LIST
this week. This Is the black bass sea
son at which time these fish become
legal game.
There are more anglers who fish
for bass than any other kind of fish
Although the relative merits of the
bass, compared With trout, are long
argued question Bass are more near
ly natural fish than trout, which are
principally the product of hatcheries
under our fishing conditions. Some
bass also are raised in hatrheries,
but they are stocked when quite
young and they grow to maturity III
the streams and lakes from which we
catch them.
Furthermore, they produce well
in most waters, thus supplementinS
what stocking is done. This gives tire
anglers a fish which has known little
luxuries of hatchery life only little
while, or not at all; one accustomed
to fight for it's living. Fight it does,
too, both for it's living and against
you if you are fortunate enough to
tie into big one.
Sportsmen in Cecil County are fGr-
tunate in having some naturallV good
bass water close at hand, water ts-
pescially suited to the mode of life
