TROUT SEASON OPENS SUNDAY.
Story in Mt Paper.
A story appeared in an tip-state
Paper this morning which stated that
although the trout season opened on
Sunday, April lat. the fishermen
would not be allowed to fish that day.
but would have to wait until Monday,
as a state law prevented Sunday fish-
ing for trout. The article further said
that Game Warden Wilbur Smith, of
this city. was to enforce this law.
This morning Game Warden Smith
denied to the Evening Sentinel .‘that
therewas any such law. and that the
season would open on Sunday and
fishermen could go out and "try their
luck." The only enforcement will be
in the size of the fish. 3.716 the limit.
this being no fish under six inches,
and not more than twenty fish a day.
No violators of the law. or poachers
have been found yet by any of the
wardens who have been especially
watchful this year. .
