OUTDOORS

A survey of fishing conditions
and prospects for the week end
reveals some interesting possi-
bilities.
The Potomac, which was
muddy over last week end, is
clearing nicely. and with fair
weather should be ideal. White
perch are still biting avidly, but
are of medium size. However, the
big, yellow filmed humpback
perch should be showing up any
day. White shad made an early
showing before the mud came
down and some nice catches
were made just above Fletcher's
Cove, where the current boils
over rocks
Dart bats proved to be the
most effective for them. With
clearing water, these fish should
be back again this week end. The
run usually lasts through May.
Hickories have been rather few
and far between in this sector.
However. anyone would rather
fish for white shad. Some pam
sized rockfish also are being
taken by perch fishermen all the
way from the Marine Memorial
on Roosevelt Island up to Chain
Bridge. Blood worms are the bait
for them.
Fishing at the Queen Anne's
Bridge sector of the PatuXent,
which has been slow to get under
way this year, is now producing
sizeable catches of hickories
daily. and at least one white
shad of record was taken there
this week. This being the case,
the white shad also should be
showing at Aliens Fresh.
The first small catch of white
perch was reported from Deale
this week. Although METERS in
the Patuxent and along the Bay
shores report increasing catches
of nice rockf1Sh together with a
few hardhead, we've yet to hear
of the first of either of these
species being taken on hook and
line along the Western shore of
the Chesapeake. With continuing
