Of Interest to those hunting on
military reservations in Virginia is
the opinion recently given by States
Attorney General J. Lindsay Almond.
jr„ at the request of Common
wealth's Attorney Bernard Mahon
of Caroline County with respect to
who has jurisdiction in the en
forcement of game laws on the
A. P. Hill Military Reservation. It
is to the effect that State Officers
and Courts will be depended on to
break up violations of the game, fish
and dog code on military lands,
with full jurisdiction to penalize
offenders, on conviction, just as if
the offenses had occurred on other
lands within the State.
Our good friend Harry Walters,
well-known sportsman of this city,
writes from Nova Scotia, where he
is trying to catch himself one of the
.big bluefin tuna, that he has hooked
and lost three good fish during the
j last three days after playing each
for several hours. Harry reports!
hat one chap played a big flsh
an 24-thread line for 11 hours and
35 minutes before the big flsh broke
the line. Says he hopes to put at
least one fish in the boat during the
coming week.
John M. Holmes, secretary of the
Associated Fishing Tackle Manu
facturers, advises of recent plans
formulated by the association for
the preservation and improvement
of angling in America. After six i
months' work by its newly appointed
Fish Restoration Committee, under
the cltairmanship of Lou S. Came
and consisting of Henry Shakes
peare, Ivar Hennings. Ed Wotruba
and Graham Treadway, It ia antici
pated that four outstanding needs
for improving fishing wil be fos
tered by the manufacturers.
One great need and opportunity!
for action Is recognized in demon
strating flsh production and In
carrying out research. The associ
ation will apply existing and new
techniques to a group of lakes in
a way tnat an ordinary fisherman
or an anglers’ club might follow
to obtain good bass fishing. Results
of these demonstrations will re
ceive wide public notice. Public
education, the training of person
nel for fishery work who may look
for adequate compensation for their
services, and the implementing of
the work of existing flsh manage
ment agencies, are three other goals
or the association. It is a good
program, and both the industry and
anglers should benefit from it.
