Chesapeake Beach, Md. 'dm
On Tuesday, February 16, a meeting was held at the
Rod 'n Reel Club, Chesapeake Beach. At this meeting. Dr.
H. C. “Curley” Byrd outlined the plans his Tidewater Fish
eries Commission had for introducing a bill into this Legis
lature that would tax every angler to fish in the tidewaters
of the State. I
Dr. Byrd was directing his
remarks at a group of charter
boat captains who had come
from every major harbor, from
Baltimore down to Point Look
out. As the evening progressed,
it was apparent that Dr. Byrd
was selling his program to these
people about as well as Custer
sold his to the Sioux.
They just weren’t buying the
idea of the State government
getting into the sport fishing j
business down on the bay at
this time. Aside from a few
vague ideas about promoting
and advertising sport fishing
on the bay, Dr. Byrd was not 1
prepared to give one. concrete ]
example of how his Commission
could help sport fishing in our
area by taxing us to do some
thing we have been doing all
our lives, tax free.
After Dr. Byrd outlined his
plans, there were a few ques
tions asked and then Mr. James
Hance, a delegate from Calvert
County, requested a show of
hands on how these people felt
so he could have some idea of
their feelings to direct his
voting when the bill was pro
posed in the legislature.
At this point Dr. Byrd an
nounced that this would not be
necessary since he had decided
to recommend to his Commis
sion that they not introduce the
bill at this session.
The feeling down here is that
even though this attempt failed,
It won’t be the last. If the State
takes the position that the fish
In the bay are a crop that should
be cultivated and brought to
harvest each year for the bene
fit of all, then there is not much
to argue with in that proposi
tion.
The fish certainly do not be
long exclusively to the charter
boat operators, nor do they be
long to the commercial netters
or any other select group. They
are a natural resource of the
State and as such, each citizen
Lgf AFIELD
fi# in Maryland
By Lefty Kreh
On February 10 the Maryland Game and Inland Fish
Commission stocked 525 trout in Rock Creek. This same
amount was to be stocked again yesterday.
Big Hunting Creek and Fish
ing Creek in Frederick County
are on the same stocking sched
ule and will have the same num
ber of fish planted as are placed
in Rock Creek.
This is a part of the Commis
sion's program to offer year
round fishing to local anglers.
The Sunday prior to the first
stocking. February 7, District
Game Warden, Robert Abraham,
counted 34 anglers on Big Hunt
ing Creek and 14 fishermen on
Fishing Creek.
Shooting Preserves
Regulated shooting grounds
have had a banner year, and
most of them have harvested far
more birds than anticipated.
The hunters really took to
pheasant hunting and duck
shooting has greatly increased
in popularity.
If you plan to shoot on a pre
serve before the season closes
on March 31, it would be wise
to give the operator a call. He
may be low on pheasants and it
would save you a trip for noth
ing.
PEPCO Plant Hot
The warm water at the
PEPCO plant, located about a
mile downstream from the
mouth of Monocacy, is giving
fishermen some of the best
wintertime angling to be had for
many years.
Recently, the writer and an
other angler checked the water
temperatures of the river in the
vicinity of the power plant.
The air temperatures was 51
degrees and the temperature of
the river water was 41 degrees.
At the point where the warm
water was flowing over the gen
erators and from the power
plant entered the river, the
heated water registered 70 de
grees farhenheit.

should share in them equally.
II they are ever managed prop
erly they will be worth mililons
to the State.
But it is ridiculous to ask an
angler to pay a tax for the
privilege of fishing in the bay
without first taking steps to
assure him that there will be
fish to catch. The value of a
Rockfish to the commercial
netter will range from 40 cents
per pound when he can't catch
them to 10 cents when he can.
The average sport fisherman
will spend from SI to $5 per
pound trying to catch the same
fish. The waste here is obvious
to everyone except to a few
packinghouse owners who are
getting fat on the labors of
the men who haul the nets.
We have said before that there
are still plenty of Rock to be
caught and that the good fisher
men are getting theirs, and we
still say that, but it could be
better. This Chesapeake Bay
could truly be the greatest fish
ing hole in the world, if it were
only managed properly.
This is an old story and we
are all familiar with it. We
went through the same thing
with our deer herds and our
ducks. When you stop the
slaughter and apply some sen
sible conservation laws based on
sound research, you make out
just fine. We also have the
example of the buffalo.
The supply may seem un
limited but if you do nothing
but take, take, take—you will
sooner or later end up with
nothing.
If the day comes when the
State shows that it really wants
to promote sport fishing on the
bay and exploits the tremendous
potential that is here Waiting,
all they have to do is start
curbing the wasteful slaughter
of the Rock and the charter boat
operators will be the first to
back them.
the bank the water remained
heated almost 400 yards down
stream. At this point the river
water and the water from the
plant had mixed enough to give
a temperature of 41 degrees.
About 100 yards below the
point the heated water flowed
into the river, the temperature
was 62 degrees. The best fish
ing for us was in the water
registering a temperature of 55
to 47 or 48 degrees. In this
water we were hardly able to
keep hooks baited, although we
did catch many small fish.
Anglers who would like to
fish this area will have to do so
from a boat. For obvious rea
sons the power company does
not allow the general public to
trespass on their property.
At the mouth of the Monocacy
boats can be rented from Roy
Lambert. Take the first road
north of Dickerson on the left
on MD. 28 as you drive toward
Frederick, to reach the boat
landing.
Gun Care
Grease in the chamber of a
firearm, especially a center fire
rifle, is an invitation to trouble.
This builds up excessive pres
sure and can readily cause burst
cases and in extreme instances
serious damage to the firearm.
Too much oil can cause simi
lar accidents. Rifle or gun bar
rels should be wiped out to rid
them of oil and grease before
use. And don't stand a firearm
on its butt with the barrrel
heavily oiled and leave it that
way for any length of time. If
so, the oil will run down into
the action. Too much oil in the
action slows down the springs,
collects dirt, freezes in cold
weather, weakens the stock, and
perhaps worst of all, squirts in
you eye!
