South Mountain Fishing Club Formed on Potomac Trip
Four Washington newspaper men formed the South Mountain Fishing Club after a bass fishing trip to Weverton Maryland on the Potomac. The club lacks formal bylaws and elections, listing seven members and assigning offices informally. Members include Thomas B. Kirby and Fergus Patrick Ferris, with roles shifting as new members join. The Potomac and nearby canal system provide ideal bass habitat and travel access.
