Dates for Fishing Are Announced by Conservation Department for Coming Season
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, May 4.—Practically on the eve of the opening of trout fishing in many of its game refuges, the division of game and inland fisheries of the Department of Conservation and Development announced a definite objective of "more vigorous and mature trout for North Carolinians and their guests."
The trout fishing season will open in Mt. Mitchell, Daniel Boone, and Sherwood Forest State game refuges May 7 and 8. On May 10 the general State fishing season will open for all warm water fish except small-mouth bass. May 16 to August 31, the fishing season will be open in the principal streams of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, though their tributaries will be closed.
May 20-22 trout fishing will be permitted in Pisgah National Forest Game Preserve near Asheville, where there will again be open fishing on June 3 to 5.
In furtherance of the more and better trout objective J. D. Chalk, state game and inland fisheries commissioner, today announced that C. W. Burpham, supervising fish culturist, will be transferred from his station at the Frank Stedman State fish hatchery, near Fayetteville, for several months.
Mr. Burpham, who served for many years in the capacity of fish culturist with the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, will assist the superintendents of the various mountain hatcheries to produce a crop of trout and other fish to restock mountain waters.
