Show M Local Fishing Is Not Up To Par Saturday's opening of the trout l'is-hing season, two to four weeks later than lower altitude openings open-ings for several seasons, was the biggest disappointment in years, so far as Beaver county fishing was concerned. Kents lake, which has been one of the best early fishing spots in the state, gave up only a comparatively few fish. J Though the big majority of these were pf good size, all were un-palatable, un-palatable, due to a sloughy taste, j This does not occur in the case of j early season fish caught in this lake, and it is apparent that the reactionary policy of the state department in holding back the opening of this and similar bodies of water is going to result in the wasting of large numbers of fish if and when they start biting even though the season on these bodies of water is set to close in July. The unpalatability of the fish does not apply to those caught in Puffers lake and the streams, but those taken at Puffers are said to have been pitifully small in size. |
