Not only are fast week a hickory jack or “winter half was hooked in the parlor opposite Fletcher's. While the swift water around Chain Bridge is perhaps the best fishing ground in this vicinitv far perch, it is not by any means the only place where these gamey little fellows can be caught. They can be landed all the way from the Raiiroad bridge up, and there mre at least fifty well known holes in the river that the old-time angler visits each year and seildom returns empty handed. Bloodworms Good Bait. One of the best baits to tempt these perch are bloodworms, and, besides, they are so easily obtained. There are sev- eral sporting goods houses in the busi- ness gection of the city that always have a good supply of them. Then, of course, there is always the good old garden worm that can be gotten in any soft earth and costs nothing but the exer- tion of digging it up. A great many perch are caught with live bait, and these minnows can be obtained at Rey- nolds’ boathouse or on the Virginia side of the Highway bridge. Last, but by no means least. there is the crab, but this particular Kind of bait is very expen- | sive. There are times, however, that the perch scem only to be hungry for this kind of diet. There are many fishermen who try their luck for perch from the banks of the river and along the sea wall from Hains Point all the way to Chain bridge, but the best way to angle for them is to use a rowboat. Then, if they do not hap- pen to be in one place you can weigh anchor and row to some other spot. These boats can be obtained from the boatmen along the river front at a very nominal price, namely, 50 cents on week days and $1 on Sundays. All reports from Chesapeake Bay say the fish have not advanced far up as yet, only a very few being caught. Capt. 'Andy Manifold, well known to many Washington anglers, saye that he put his nets into the water last week and_succeeded in getting only three shad and a few herring. He advances the opinion that the water still is too cold for them. At this time last year, in comparison, he already had made a $1,500 haul in one day. He expects, how- ever, that when the water gets a. little warmer to get gratifying results from his nets which he operates in Herring Bay and offshore at Chesapeake Beach. With the exception of the brief state- ment from Benedict to the effect that some hardheads had been caught, no re- ports have come in from salt-water fish- ing grounds. ‘Willle Dorringer y a little boy, five years old, but he has been commended for meritorious conduct unaer extraordinary _ciroumstances.
