16 • NEW CASTLE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1951 Hunting and Fishing By C. J. Daum jj Another fishing season finally arrived! It's been a long wait for most of our impatient angler^ but it's always so, I guess. April first marked the opening of the lake trout season in NeV York State. We must still wait another week, or until April 14, for all other types of trout, how ever. We have heard so many conflicting opinions the last few weeks about what opened and where, etc., that it would cer tainly be in order right now to try to clarify the situation, at least for our local anglers. We have never been able to understand why the Conserva tion Department insists year af ter year on breaking up the nec essary information and distri buting it almost at random throughout the Syllabus. By that we mean, why not put all vital information regarding a species —either fish, fowl or game—un der one heading so that any in terested party could easily find • the existing laws? This present plan of listing most of the in formation under a general head ing along with some exceptions and then tucking away several other exceptions in various oth er places in the book under va rious headings only breeds con fusion. This year we had the usual excitement and question ing about whether or not it was permissible to fish lake trout In Westchester and Putnam Coun ties beginning April 1. It is not. If you search dili gently enough and use a bit of imagination you will find it in the Syllabus, but you could easi ly mt&s it or misinterpret it. Per haps a .bit of concerted pressure from our sportsmen's clubs could get us action in regard to a bet ter arrangement of the State Syllabus. Let's give the State Conserva tion Department credit, however, for a very excellent stocking program. We have had some fine shipments of very nice fish that arrived in excellent condition. More power to all concerned. Perch fishermen have been ' having a field day of late—es pecially on Muscoot. The local hot spot seemed to be in back of the lumber yard at Katonah with limit catches the rule rath er than the exception. Other lakes are beginning to show ac tion also, eopecially in the area of a heavy flow of incoming wa ter. At the present time the news papers in this country con 0 ume more than 750,000 tons of news print annually.
