< FFRIDAY, MAY 15, 1931 FISHING ONE -OF MOST POPULAR SPORTS Reports from angling license wales in many districts reveal that “ishing is one of the most popular sports. Of course it is impossible to make an accurate sales tabulation at fthis time, buy early indications show What the drought has not frightened , many anglers. As a matter of fact, it is beginming to appear. as though the dry sseason has enticed more early auilers to streams and the usual proxture in former yearh. Sporting ‘zoods houses, no doubt are doing an fincreased business. At this time of year, in forme: seasons, many of the streams were 80 high that good anglin was an imwossibdility, and the sportsmen na“turaily collected on the shallower ttributaries. This year the tables seeiu fo be somewhat reversed, with wost wf the fishing on the large streams ‘and ‘the tributaries virtually abunmoneda. Lakes will receive big play. ‘Fish culturists of the Division ‘of Fish and Game are somewhat worrfta ‘over the change in conditions. “Aecording to their calculations conservation is going to suffer a serve Wlow if the anglers concentrate too Yaeavily on the fishable waters. Fishing that is done too intensely will so deplete the waters that it is Wiable to take several years to make any sory of a recovery, according to wulturists. This will be espically ttrue in the lakes. Sportsment’s and associations can elo a great work if they will encourrage their members and friends to mse good common sence in working “the streams and not allow certain waters to be fished.
