Illegal Fishing Report Raises Demands in Washington County
Washington County sportsmen report extensive illegal bass fishing in the Potomac River near Williamsport. They urge the State Game and Inland Fish Commission to appoint at least one additional full-time deputy warden. The study notes copper outlines used to trap bass, with catches sold locally, and cites insufficient funds to hire a second warden. The outline near the West Virginia shore runs from a stake on the Maryland side. Washington County law provides two deputy wardens. Deputy Albert Crampton enforces fish and game laws amid funding limits.
