Poor Bass Fishing Report From Potomac Bank
Weekend fishing along the Potomac yielded unusually poor results with few bass caught and scarce bait available. George Wolfe of Williamsport notes veteran fishermen failing to land bass, while Harry Gordon reports six legal-size bass farther upstream. Mushrooms appeared in a bluish hue after a nearby gas leak, and an early spring-like pattern followed by showers kept readers wary of deeper holes as temperatures drop. Interments and local sightings of night devices were mentioned in passing.
