WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT STREAM POLLUTION

By GROVER C. LADNER Deputy Attorney General and President, Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen

PORTSMEN need not be told that stream pollution is a long uphill fight. On the one side is arrayed special S privilege, selfish interests and money power; on the other side the decent right-thinking citizenry of the State and Nation who are fighting this battle of the ages not merely for themselves, but for those who come hereafter. Between the two is the great mass of people, who, fortunately for the polluters, have not yet been fully aroused but are not to be considered in any wise as supporting the polluters.

But I hope I have aroused your interest to such a point that after you have caught a fish and exclaimed "Ain't he a beauty!" you will go further, look him over carefully and actually see his color and the story it tells. There are various strains of fish, all of which may vary in color the same as humans and animals. Some will be very green; in others, another color will pre­ dominate. The hatcheries, I am sorry to say, through necessity or demand, are breeding toward a lighter strain, much to my regret, because I think the darker, richer-colored fish are much prettier to look at. When I said this to Mr. Buller, he said I'm the only one who has preferred the darker strain, all others demand the lighter strain, that is why the hatcheries have to breed them. That being fehe case, everybody is crazy but me! I like dark, rich colors in my fish. Do you? Or, by some miracle, am I the crazy one? Half a million Pennsylvanians can't be wrong and I'm only a New York Yankee so, where do I stand? For that matter, a fish of any other color will fight and taste the same. Surely—and smell the same.

NEHF has presented itself to them in such an accessible form. Opening Day As a mere observer it would be an almost impossible task to place into words the simple thrills experienced by the boys and girls present on the opening day in June. One had to actually be there to fully com­ prehend even the external expressions of inward childish emotions. "Hey, watch my cork go up and down; I've got a bite," "Boy, but I lost a dandy;" "Look at the size of him," "These darn worms, I wish they'd stop wriggling," and hundreds of similar expressions were truly typical of natural childish enjoyment of a sport so appealing to the majority of our younger citizens in the making. As for the equipment which was used by our younger sportsmen one could find any­ thing from the crudest of sticks and line to salt water outfits. Conforming to tackle re­ quirements was out of the question. What they wanted was fishing and nothing pre­ vented their enjoyment in any manner.

More grass has been will become a cherished memory with pres­ ent day anglers, and yet—. We must face certain indisputable facts relative to the shifting of the inland water fishing balance. First, there has been, ow­ ing to drought, logging, clearing of land and cutting of cover, a gradual shrinkage of low temperature waters suitable for trout during the past decade. Second, bet­ ter roads penetrating to the heart of se­ cluded mountain areas and the automobile have resulted in more intensive fishing on most trout waters. Third, and perhaps most important, we have observed in recent years a gradual extension of the range of habitat of warm water species of fish life in several typical brook trout streams. These factors, while having a definite effect on the trout fishing of the future, do not neces­ sarily carry the implication that it will cease to be. But on the other hand, signs of our times do point to the coming domi­ nation of warm water game fishes, particu­ larly the black bass, in waters of the dense­ ly populated east.

Other species observed and checked that year included suckers, run chubs, silver shiners and a few fallfish. Of the so-called game fishes, observation failed to show the presence of a single pickerel or smallmouth bass. Some competition for the food sup­ ply of the trout was offered by the fallfish, but the charr apparently had the situation well in hand. It was noted in succeeding years, how­ ever, that the meadow pools at Point A contained a constantly diminishing number of trout. In 1927, May to be exact, we observed two pickerel in one of these pools. The fallfish also had increased in number, many being taken on the fly. In 1934, during May, we caught on the fly and re­ leased a smallmouth bass about 8 inches in length. As this was the first bass taken or observed, it is reasonable to assume that the pickerel was first to invade the new range offered in this trout stream. Points B and C offered interesting data in this connection, particularly since 1930. While a few fallfish had been observed at both of these locations prior to 1930, no pickerel or bass had as yet, our study re­ vealed, made an appearance.

UR old friend Paul L. Swanson, the O herpetologist, being located in the state of Indiana this summer, we will try to give the readers of the PENNSYLVANIA ANGLER a little information on Pennsyl­ vania's poisonous reptiles. First we will consider the one with the widest distribution which is the Copper­ head. This snake has been found in 38 of our 67 counties. There is much inde­ cision on the part of many in the identi­ fication of this snake and the head, from which it derives its name, is not a reliable indication. Its head may or may not be copper colored. A more reliable indica­ tion is its markings which are from 18 to 24 dark brown or reddish brown hour glass shaped markings with the narrow part of the markings on top of the back and the wider parts on each side of the snake. These markings are on a light brown or pinkish background. We present herewith a picture of a moth­ er copperhead with five youngsters. These are born in August or September and may number from three to nine. They are born in a thin transparent sheath from which they emerge shortly after and are at once ready with poison in proportion to their size. The next most widely distributed pois­ onous snake in Pennsylvania is the Timber Rattlesnake. This snake has been recorded from 36 of our 67 counties and is probably extinct in most thickly settled regions. The Massasauga and Young color of the Timber Rattler is quite varied and may range from sulphur yellow to vel­ called pit vipers. All poisonous snakes sound only not so loud on account of their vet black.

NOVEL FISHING CONTEST SPONSORED IN LEHIGH

In a novel trout fishing contest, the first of its kind in the eastern part of the state, the sporting goods store operated by the Witwer-Jones Co., of Allentown, is creating a new interest among the thousands of trout fishermen who frequent the Little Lehigh and Jordan Creeks. Through a system of tagging, recom­ mended by C. Ross Buller, Chief Fish Cul- turist of the Fish Commission, the released brown and rainbow trout were marked with numerical metal tags placed with special pliers on the gill covers of the fish. A spe­ cial record of the number, species, and where released has already been made. When the trout are caught, the angler is requested to make a careful study of the fish, note when and where it was caught, as well as describe the lure used. The trout, after purchase from the Trex- ler Trout Ponds, were tagged by Clayton Reisch, superintendent of the hatchery; EEMS like this dry spell we been havin' District Fish Warden C.
