Regional Game Warden Benjamin F. Phebus Sr warned Sunday night that fishermen using more than one hook on a line will be prosecuted. Magistrate E. G. Miller in Smithsburg last Friday convicted Guy Frushour and Bixford Liser of Wolfsville for multi hook fishing near Harpers Ferry, fining $25 with suspended sentences after they claimed ignorance of the law. Wardens plan firmer enforcement, ending prior leniency due to confusing language in the statute.
