nets for three solid hours.
Other members of the crew
seined the $50 foot long
channel.
The fish were first placed
in a trap, then transported
in buckets to the tank truck
waiting at the top of the
bank. The truck is equipped
with an aerating system which
insures sufficient oxygen for
an overland haul of consider
able distance.
Some of the larger pickerel
(up to 80 inches) and bass
(up to 8 and 9 pounds actual
weight were captured by
hand. They were too big to
get into a dip net and the
field men did a lot of Scram-
bling in the 15-foot-wide
channel, trying to get a grip
on them.
Incidentally, no artificial
stocking will be necessary
when Cash Lake is refllled.
When water from Lake Red
dington is allowed to flow
into Cash, plenty of fish will
go along. In the meantime,
there are some mighty hand
some pickerel and bass, not to
mention thousands of blue
gill and crappie, in the Pa

waters.

land. Along the banks grow
ruShes and reeds. In normal
times, there is a constant
gentle flow of water from
Lake Reddington, which joins
Cash to the south. The level
of Reddington (which also is
man-made) is controlled by a
Sluice gate, the level Of Cash
by a valve outlet. The water
goes directly into the Pa
tuxent.
When Cash began to drop,
the ducks took of with their
broods of young for Redding-
ton, where they, will remain
until things get back to
normal.
Francis Uhler of the Pa
tuxent research staff, had
carefully erected a wire screen
mounted on metal stakes at
the north end of Cash, just
above the outlet. The screen,
of course, was for the purpose
of letting the water out while
keeping the larger fish in.
The afternoon before the
draining, Mr.. Uhler checked
the condition of the lake. The
water was very low and the
fish were congregating near
the drainage pipe. He in
spected the screen, found it
secure and notified Ed Barry,
chief of Inland Fish Manage
ment for the State, to be on
hand the next day with a
crew and equipment to cap
ture and haul away the fish.
The next morning, Mr..
Uhler discovered part of the
screen blocking the exit either
had been lifted by hand or
had torn loose. At any rate,
a 5-foot section had lifted
clear of the water. Neither
Mr.. Uhler nor anybody else
knows how many fish escaped
through the drain and into
the Patuxent.
However, the opening in the
screen was closed and Mr..
Barry's crew went to work
with seines and dip nets to
gather what was left of the
fish crop.
1t proved to be quite a load
in fact, four truck loads, to
be exact. The sluice was
opened wide, causing a rapid
flow of the remaining water.

For Patuxent Anglers
By-Cleveland van Dresser

A NGLlNG In nearby Mary
IA land should be improving,
thanks to an experiment
recently completed jointly by
the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service and the
Maryland Department of
Game and Inland Fish.
Essentially, the experiment
consisted of draining Cash
Lake, a 53-acre body of water
in the Patuxent Research
Refuge, a 2.700-acre tract 20
miles northeast of the Dis
trict, operated by the Fish and
Wildlife Service. Cash is one
of five lakes in the refuge.
AS the lake was drained, its
fish either went directly into
the Patuxent River or were
trapped by a field crew of the
Maryland department and
transported to neighboring
waters in tank trucks.
The entire operation took
five days. Thousands of blue
gills and crappie and a goodly
number Of large-mouth bass
and pickerel were captured.
Cash Lake is essentially a
waterfowl sanctuary, under
the management of the Pa
tuxent Refuge. Quite a num-
Der of ducks and geese use it
as a stopover during the
winter and some species, in
cluding black ducks, mallards
and Canada geese, remain the
year round. Wood ducks
breed in abundance in the
area.
Draining of the lake was
part of a long-range plan to
improve aquatic conditions for
waterfowl. Exposing the bot
tom of the lake to sunlight
and air will result in an en-
tirely new and lush growth of
marsh plants upon which
waterfowl feed.
When the lake bed was
completely dry. a bulldozer
and tractor began to smooth
out the bottom. In october,
the lake will be filled again,
to be ready for the annual
influx of waterfowl.
Cash Lake is man-made,
but you'd never know it, see
ing it full of water. 1t looks
like an ideal angling place
which it is. Its shores are
both wooded and in meadow

For the Betterment of the Community

Mentioning the names of these
two organizations is just another
way of saying Cooperation for
the betterment of the community"
They have been working at this
project ever since their first in

Forest Oak Lodge No. I23,
KOFP, the elder of the two, was
instituted October %, 1892, and
for many years held it's meetings
in a room over the present Reber's
Variety tore. In 1911 it moved to
its present location on ummit Ave-
nue., at which place it has truly
grown with Gaithersburg. One ex-
ample of it's community mindness
is that it was the first semi-public
building in the town to be wired
for electricity, and its minutes re-
cord that it oeredff it's installation
to the Electric Company as a model
