for trout is attracting thousands of
anglers to the swift, cold water haunts
of the speckled beauties, many fisher-

warm water species, and heavy cat-

Night fishing for bullheads results in
good catches.
Ag panfish, the yellow perch, to be
found in many lakes and streams, are
excellent. Not only will they strike
live bait, but small spinners and flies
are effective in luring perch to the
creel. Bluegill sunfish may also be tak-
en. in a similar fashion.
Fallfish, plentiful in many of the
swifter streams, grow to a length of
fifteen inches or over. They are ex-
ceptionally graceful, and good fighters,
rising readily to a fly. Chubs also
grow to a good size in some streams,
and will take bait or flies. Eels, with
the warmer weather now prevalent,
are being taken in increasing numb-
ers.
No size limit has been set by the
Fish Commission on yellow perch, sun-
