fear pollution may have cleaned

worth investigating. Also there
is the mouth Of what we used to
call Little River, where the Po-
tomac splits and a portion en-
circles Roosevelt Island Just

lot of rocks there and still some
good bass hanging around.

Shad fishing up the Po-
tomac is really a hit and miss
proposition this late in the
season. We were up last week
end and among 10 boats fishing
saw only four shad caught.
However. we did see some nice
large-mouth bass hooked and
one landed that would weigh
nearly 3 pounds.
When the water is clear as
it was then, there Is some nice
bass fishing to be had along the
shore and In the coves of the
Potomac. One doesn't have to
drive way up to Seneca or
SWANS Lock or some farther
point to have some sport. These
bass were caught by one man
who with a companion just sort
of drifted around on the edge
of the boats. fishing for shad
and much Of the time below

a big shad and wonder what his
final luck was. He certainly was
