caught the 33-inch trout during the
weekend while fishing on his pri.
vate preserve in Spring Creek just
below Pishermen's Paradise. He was
using a bucktail as a lure. The mam- |
moth fish, when opened, was found
to have dined only a short time be
fore on a seven-inch trout
The 30% inch trout was caught in
Penna Creek below Penns Cave last
Wednesday afterdoon by William
McHenry, of Ebensburg. It was
hooked on light tackle with a min-|

It is generally believed that the,

ever reported In Centre county. |
